Law Preview Scholarships Sponsored By King & Spalding and Troutman Sanders
Top law firms understand that their lawyers must be diverse in order to best serve their clients. That is why many top 100 law firms and companies have invested heavily to improve diversity among practicing attorneys and the legal community in general. These law firms understand that improving diversity in the legal profession requires more than just hiring and promoting diverse attorneys within their firms. It also requires a sustained commitment to increase the pipeline of diverse students who earn strong grades in law school and are, therefore, positioned to compete for the most sought-after jobs and become the profession's next generation of leaders and decision-makers.
Law Preview (the nation's largest law school prep course) has teamed up with King & Spalding and Troutman Sanders (two of the world's most prominent law firms) to provide Law Preview Scholarships to select members of our entering class. King & Spalding and Troutman Sanders have generously agreed to help entering students prepare for the unique challenges they will face during their 1L year at Georgia Law by paying the cost of tuition for a law school prep course.
