LSAC Plus Pipeline Program: A Commitment to Community
Jocelyn Granados Mejia, 1L, didn’t think a law school education was for her. Growing up with migrant parents and being undocumented herself, she came to believe the law is used as a weapon against her community. But her interest in the legal field grew when she participated in the LSAC Plus Program at Heritage University as it provided a pipeline for Latino/Latina/Latinx and Indigenous People to attend law school, while also encouraging them to return home to practice law.
Mejia’s UW Law classmate, Valentina Aznar, found out about the program from her older sister, who also attended and graduated from the program. As Aznar puts it, “Law school was always something I was interested in. And since Heritage [University] was very close to Yakima, where we live, we thought it was an amazing opportunity.”
Funded by a grant from the Law School Admissions Council (LSAC), the LSAC Plus Program at Heritage University creates a partnership between Washington’s three law schools — University of Washington School of Law, Seattle University School of Law and Gonzaga University School of Law — in an effort to make law school more accessible for diverse students in Central Washington.
