Academic Resource Center

The Academic Resource Center is nationally renowned for its commitment to providing access to the legal profession. The primary purpose is to support the diverse and non-traditional students admitted through the Access Admission Program so they excel in law school and beyond.

The only law school program of its kind in the state, the Access Admission Program allows a number of promising students who don’t meet traditional admission requirements to be admitted to the law school. They attend an intensive seven-week summer program that integrates a traditional Criminal Law course with legal writing and study skills.

Nearly 600 graduates of the program have gone on to great success in the legal profession and as leaders in their communities.
