카지노 PLUS Program Gives First-Gen Law Candidate a Window into Law School
Keni Anthony says she해외 카지노 추천s always wanted to attend a historically Black university. 해외 카지노 추천Ever since I was little, watching my auntie walk across the stage at Savannah State, I knew from that age that that would be me,해외 카지노 추천 she says. Now an undergraduate at Albany State University, Anthony is preparing for the next step in her journey: a legal education, a first for her family. 해외 카지노 추천I해외 카지노 추천ve always wanted to attend law school,해외 카지노 추천 she says, 해외 카지노 추천but I had no idea what I was getting into. Even though my family has been to college and been successful in their careers, they know nothing about law school.해외 카지노 추천
A friend told Anthony about the annual 카지노 Prelaw Undergraduate Scholars (PLUS) Program, which is hosted every summer at several law schools, with support from 카지노. That immersive program, which Anthony attended virtually through the University of Akron this past summer, provided the perspective she needed. 해외 카지노 추천Being a part of this program gave me insight on what law school was about and what it will take to get in,해외 카지노 추천 she says.
The 카지노 PLUS Program is intended to give undergraduate students, particularly those from underrepresented communities, that initial look at law school and the admission process. There is no cost, and students receive a $1,000 stipend. This year, the program moved online during the COVID-19 pandemic. 카지노 provided laptop computers and internet access to any student who needed that assistance to participate.
Anthony says the online program was 해외 카지노 추천a different experience해외 카지노 추천 but adds that it took away the nervousness of being in front of a new group of people. The information she gained from it was invaluable. 해외 카지노 추천I learned a lot about applying to law school,해외 카지노 추천 she says. 해외 카지노 추천I had no idea what a 해외 카지노 추천character fitness test해외 카지노 추천 was, for example, and I didn해외 카지노 추천t take into consideration how much it matters.해외 카지노 추천 She also learned about the admission process and the decisions each school makes 해외 카지노 추천 and how, as she puts it, 해외 카지노 추천even the smallest thing can be what gets you into the law school of your choice, or even waitlisted.해외 카지노 추천 And she got to take a legal writing class, which showed her that 해외 카지노 추천it takes so much more to be a law student than just reading cases.해외 카지노 추천
As a result, Anthony says, 해외 카지노 추천Now I want to attend law school more than ever.해외 카지노 추천 While she originally was interested in criminal law, she now plans to study business law. 해외 카지노 추천I still would like to be knowledgeable about criminal law and help my community when I get a chance,해외 카지노 추천 she says, 해외 카지노 추천hopefully even by starting a law firm that caters to pro bono cases.해외 카지노 추천
For Anthony and many other law students, representation matters in all areas of the law. 해외 카지노 추천Throughout history, most attorneys have been white males trying to represent minorities,해외 카지노 추천 she says, 해외 카지노 추천so minorities grow up thinking it해외 카지노 추천s impossible for them to even reach that goal. With more representation, it shows children that they are more than statistics. Being from one of those underrepresented groups, and seeing attorneys that look like me, gives me the fuel to know I have a seat at the table. Even though it might be harder for me to get to the table, it still shows me that I can.해외 카지노 추천
