Law School Preparation

Through SEO Law's two flagship program initiatives, the SEO Law Fellowship Program and SEO Law Catalyst, aspiring, underserved law students receive access to critical educational, career development, and internship opportunities that propel them to succeed in the legal profession.

Established in 2005, Eversheds Sutherland Scholars is a three-week, 40-hour summer program for recent college graduates headed to law school and rising college seniors from a variety of personal and cultural backgrounds.

Afro Scholars is a premier Diversity Pipeline program that provides exceptional first-year law students from underrepresented backgrounds with career-coaching, professional development tools, law-firm mentor matching and early summer associate recruiting opportunities.

Our LEAP/MTO Fellows chapter will provide aspiring law students with the resources needed to become change agents and leaders in their respective legal paths. Ultimately, we want to prepare students for law school and to be successful throughout their legal careers. 

Financial barriers and a lack of guidance often prevent underrepresented students from attending law school. The PracticePro Pre-Law Diversity Scholarship provides students with the resources to navigate the law school admissions process and prepare for fulfilling legal careers.

The Diverse Attorney Pipeline Program (DAPP) is a non-profit corporation that addresses the continued and systematic decline of women of color lawyers in law firms and across other coveted positions in the legal profession.  DAPP aims to diversify the legal profession by expanding opportunities for women of color law students to secure summer positions at law firms and corporations following their first year of law school.

Stanford Law School recognizes that the legal sector is among the least diverse professions in the United States and is committed to helping create a legal profession that better serves all communities. In response, we have created the Stanford Law Scholars Institute, which is designed to provide support and training to undergraduate students seeking to explore the opportunities and benefits of a legal career for themselves, their families, and their communities.

A lack of resources to attend costly LSAT or GRE preparation classes and to fund expensive admissions applications is a significant factor in hindering application to law school. The Sidley Prelaw Scholars Program aims to remove barriers to law school and the legal profession by subsidizing LSAT or GRE preparatory course and law school application expenses of high-performing college students who have difficulty paying the expenses associated with applying to law school.
