Be Yourself, With Pride
With roughly 200 law schools in the country—all with different offerings, perspectives and distinct cultures—it’s important for students to find the right fit at a law school that is both welcoming and supportive. Members of the LGBTQIA+ community have all likely experienced feeling like they don’t belong or couldn’t be themselves. It doesn’t have to be that way.
