Pathway Program

Access to resources to prepare for the law school admissions process is uneven. That’s why Widener Law Commonwealth created the Pathway Program.

WLC’s Pathway Program is a 12-week Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) preparation course that equips students with essential skills for success in the admissions process. The LSAT courses are online, however, immersive in-person visits to law school classes provide invaluable glimpses into the world of legal education. Additionally, a comprehensive day-at-the-law-school event, complete with mock classes, meetings with Deans, Law School Admissions committee members, and opportunities to interact with professors, completes the immersive experience.

Thanks to the generosity of the Law School Admission Council’s DEI Pathway Grant Program, WLC’s Pathway Program is provided at no cost to participants. Interested candidates may express interest in the program by submitting their information.
