Minority Law Outreach Program

"Only 1 in 25 lawyers are of color. No single minority group in the United States accounts for more than 4% of the lawyers in the United States" (www.lsac.org). The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law Office of Minority Affairs would like to change that statistic.

The Minority Law Outreach Program is an event which aims to increase members of the minority community's understanding of the legal profession and expose them to career opportunities. Additionally, the program offers insights into the requirements for admission to law school and entrance into the legal profession. Our target group is talented high school students ranging from sophomores to seniors and college students of color (but all are welcome to attend).

If you have questions in regards to this event, contact Jimmi Nicholson, Assistant Director of Admissions and Minority Affairs, at nicholson.104@osu.edu or (614) 688-8212.
