As part of its ongoing efforts to advance diversity in the legal profession, UC College of the Law San Francisco has teamed up with a statewide program to help make legal careers more accessible to groups who are underrepresented in the field.
UC Law San Francisco signed a partnership agreement on Feb. 10 with the California Leadership Access Workforce (Cal LAW) Pathways, a program developed by the State Bar of California’s Council on Access and Fairness with support from the Law School Admission Council.
