Street Law

The School of Law initiated its Street Law program in 2002 and currently partners with the Thurgood Marshall Law Society to send law students and attorneys into urban high school classrooms to teach students about their legal rights and responsibilities.  In late 2006, the School of Law was selected as one of just ten law schools to participate in the Diversity Pipeline Initiative, a Street Law, Inc. initiative funded by the Law School Admissions Council.  The Diversity Pipeline Initiative helped to support the law school in its efforts to incorporate activities and mentoring for young people of color geared toward encouraging them to consider legal careers.
