"My experience as a minority law student, and now as a law school academic success teacher makes this topic particularly relevant and interesting to me. I would greatly appreciate your participation in this study. While participating will require your valuable time and discussion of a painful experience, the information you provide will be critical for law school educators in assisting students and shaping the law school environment." -Erin Lain
Study's
PURPOSE.
This study seeks to explore the experiences of Black or Latina/o law students who were academically dismissed from law school in their first year, and their view on the law school environment. While many journal articles have discussed the law school environment, there is little empirical research on the law school environment in relation to the experience of students who were academically dismissed.
