If you have a criminal record, LAW SCHOOL IS POSSIBLE!
The Formerly Incarcerated Law Students Advocacy Association was founded by a formerly incarcerated 1L as an effort to open the doors of legal institutions to those who have been most directly impacted by arrests, convictions, and incarceration. Our goals are to recruit currently or formerly incarcerated folks who desire to attend law school, to advocate for their admissions, and to support them throughout their careers. Most identities underrepresented in the makeup of judges, lawyers, politicians, and more are sadly overrepresented in prisons, and this is one way to work toward changing that.
