Accesslex Institute
Category: Education
DescriptionThe Institute seeks to foster broad-based access to quality legal education for talented, purpose-driven students. It also works to maximize the value and affordability of a law degree through policy advocacy, research, and student-focused initiatives. The Institute's Bar Success Intervention Grant Program awards grants in support of programs and interventions aimed at helping increase bar exam passage rates among students and/or graduates most at-risk of not passing. The Program's goal is to increase the knowledge base about effective bar exam success programming that is scalable and replicable. Priority will be given to the following types of programs: differential treatment of participants (treatment/control group methodology) for purposes of program evaluation; relevant long-term support for participants; and collaboration with other institutions and/or organizations. Funded programs must have a duration of 12-24 months and seek funding in the amount of $150,000 to $300,000. They must focus on law students and/or graduates most at-risk of not passing the bar exam or institutions with ultimate bar exam passage rates that fall below 70 percent. They also must include clear statements of program goals and tangible and measurable objectives as well as an evaluation plan. Additional information can be found on the Web site.
