The Yale Law School Launchpad Scholars Program, powered by Latham & Watkins, is focused on increasing opportunity and equity in education and the legal profession. With rising law school application costs and other barriers limiting access to the legal profession, a law degree can be out of reach for some students. This innovative program aims to ensure that excellent applicants from all backgrounds can maximize their potential as law students and legal professionals, empowering them to become leaders in their future careers.
The Launchpad Scholars Program is designed to meet talented, prospective applicants where they are, provide the knowledge and skills they need to apply to and enroll in law school, thrive while there, and go on to become leaders in their chosen fields. At no cost, Launchpad provides participants with application and career readiness support, substantial LSAT preparation, attorney and law student mentorship, and other resources that will prepare participants to apply to any law school of their choosing.
