Legal Pathways works to generate equitable access to legal education and careers. Legal Pathways adopts a broad understanding of legal careers with a grounding in social justice and a commitment to fostering student empowerment. Recognizing the disparities in legal education, Legal Pathways prioritizes supporting students of demographics underrepresented in the legal field, to expand the law school pipeline and increase access to law and law-related careers for the University of Washington Tacoma students.

 

We work to:

 

  • Provide students with the knowledge necessary to negotiate their way through a diverse range of law-related careers.
  • Assist UWT students to become as competitive as possible for law school and law-related graduate programs, and widen the pipeline into those careers.
  • Support and expand our community based law-related curriculum.
  • Enhance pathways for legal talent to return to our community.
  • Support and provide community outreach, education and engagement;
  • Advocate for a just legal system in our local community.
