The newly created Pathway to Law School Transfer Program is now accepting application for Fall 2015. The program is designed for students who are interested in or believe that they may be interested in a career in law. The Pathway to Law School will demystify law school and provide a broad exposure to the legal field. This is a transfer program with the goal of assisting students to transfer in a timely manner and to prepare them for eventual attendance at a law school. More information regarding this new program can be found under the Academic Programs link on the ELAC webpage under the Pathway to Law School link. The Coordinator, Christine Rodriguez, may be contacted at (323) 265-8939 or via email at lawpathway@elac.edu. 3
