NATIONAL JURIST — The Summer Pre-Law Pipeline Program will be held in-person from June 6-17. The two-week course will offer 30 hours of academic classes with professors and alumni on campus and will focus its efforts on first-generation and low-income students. The program is free and will focus on introducing interested applicants to the law school experience and exposing them to networking opportunities. They will also receive one-on-one application assistance from experienced admission officers and mentoring from legal leaders. The application deadline for the course is March 1. Applications received after that date may be considered if space remains. The summer program is just one element of Suffolk’s ongoing efforts to eliminate bias and enhance diversity in the legal profession. Suffolk Law also launched a full-tuition scholarship program for those admitted from dozens of Historically Black Colleges and Universities and a $20,000 scholarship for first-generation college students from 29 New England-area schools. “If we want to improve the systems that make Black and brown people a rarity at the levers of power, law school is a great place to start,” said Cherina Wright, Suffolk’s assistant dean of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
