High School Dreams Face Financial Barriers
As a high school law teacher, it was devastating to see the lack of support that was available to students graduating from my high school law program. They were fantastic mock trial competitors, participated in four years of law classes, and even worked on actual legal cases in our on-campus legal clinic. But what happened when they left? For many brilliant, passionate, and dedicated students, the financial barriers on the pathway to law school prevent them from achieving their dreams and growing into the legal leaders, community champions, and advocates for access to justice that we need.
