City College, often cited as one of the most diverse campuses in the region, has been chosen out of 112 community colleges in the state to participate in a new program, “Pathways to Law School,” beginning in 2015.

City College, among 23 other community colleges in California, was selected for the new law school pilot program, facilitated in association with the California State Bar Council and California’s higher education facilities.

The program is based on a “2+2+3” model. The first two years of the program will begin at the community college level, the next two will be at the university level, and the remaining three will be completed in law school, according to Dr. Mary Turner, City College vice president of instructional services.

“The program focuses the students on a set of courses that they would take at the community college, facilitates their transfer to a four year institution that is connected to a law school, and again facilitates their transition into a law school so they can complete in two years, two years and three years,” said. Turner.

The program targets new students entering City College who have the eventual goal of law school. According to Turner, this tiered program will be very beneficial to future students who plan to pursue a law degree.

“There is no guaranteed movement [in college],” Turner said. “This [program] actually guarantees the student admission into law school.”

Six California law schools will participate in the program, including the University of Southern California Gould School of Law, UC San Francisco School of Law, UC Davis School of Law, UC Irvine School of Law, Santa Clara University School of Law, and Loyola Law School.

Because colleges become very impacted and the amount of time it takes to get a degree can vary wildly from student to student, the “Pathways” program is designed to work with the student so that the seven-year goal is actually met, Turner said.

City College is also putting together an advisory committee for the program consisting of law school professors who will counsel and mentor students while they complete their coursework.

“Students will get early exposure to law school and the tools that they need to be successful in law school,” said Turner. “We will hold debates for the students so they get used to that process, and support of their legal positions early on.”

The Pathways to Law School program will provide students with assistance in financial aid and bar association scholarships, preparation for the LSAT (law school admission test), and even waiving law school application fees, Turner said.

“We know that our community colleges have the diversity and talent that the State Bar seeks to enhance the diversity pipeline into the legal profession, as evidenced by many prominent judges and lawyers who attended community colleges,” said State Bar CEO Joseph Dunn. “I am particularly grateful to the six law school deans for partnering in this important initiative to increase the diversity and overall quality of the legal profession.”

The Pathways to Law School program will combine general education requirements, existing City College criminal justice curriculum, as well as new courses that will be announced.

Turner said that City College will be working with local high schools as well as interested new students for enrollment in the program in the 2015 school year.
