“LLI is a statewide pipeline program designed to help students from underserved communities, to get into college and ultimately law school if they so choose. Our program began in 2008 in Columbus and Cleveland, and since then, we have expanded to six cities including Akron, Cincinnati, Dayton and Toledo.”
 

We want to visit your students!

Without the help of selfless educators like you, we would not be able to do this great work! If you would like for a representative from our program to come and speak to your staff or students, please schedule online now!
