Legal Professional Pathways Program
The UC Irvine Law Legal Professional Pathways Program recognizes students for their academic excellence, professional achievements, exceptional life experiences, and their leadership potential in the legal profession. The Legal Professional Pathways Program pairs talented newly admitted UC Irvine Law students with participating organizations that provide summer employment at the end of the first year of law school. Participating students also benefit from mentorship and outreach throughout their 1L year. This innovative program introduces students to leaders in the legal community while also providing organizations with early ties to a promising and diverse group of future lawyers.
