The Pathway to Law School certificate program provides a broad background to help prepare students for success in law school. The courses in the program were identified by the California State Bar’s Council on Access and Fairness based on empirical studies of factors important to lawyer effectiveness. Students interested in a career in law should also complete their associate’s degree and an academic major, which will lead to a transfer to a four-year college or university.

Unlike medical schools and other graduate programs, law schools do not have any undergraduate requirements. They seek to assemble diverse students from different backgrounds and undergraduate majors. As a result, college graduates with any undergraduate major achieve admission to law school. Law schools do not have specific undergraduate course requirements; some legal specialties are limited to students processing certain undergraduate degrees.

20-40 students
