Macedonia resident Elijah Turner said he’s had his heart set on becoming an attorney since middle school, but he wasn’t sure what steps he needed to take to make his dream a reality.
But that all changed after he completed a new brand new summer pipeline program at The University of Akron School of Law.
The Law School Admission Council (LSAC) DiscoverLaw.org Prelaw Undergraduate Scholars (PLUS) program is designed to give rising college sophomores and juniors from diverse or underrepresented backgrounds an in-depth preview of what the law school experience is all about and the various career options open to those who receive their law degrees.
“The program solidified my plan to become a lawyer and showed me the path I need to take to get into law school,” said Turner, a rising sophomore at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, who is majoring in social justice studies and minoring in political science.
“I am on a pre-law track,” said Turner. “I became interested in law after participating in the summer enrichment program REACH throughout middle school,” he said.
