Abstract: Project TRAIL (Teaching Resources to Advance Interest in Law) addresses issues of equity associated with law school admission. To achieve true equity in US society, it is important for all components of our legal system to adequately represent the demographics of our society. Funded through AccessLex, Project Trail has developed an online course that addresses issues with factors such as stereotype threat and low LSAT scores. These factors minimize opportunities for successful law school attendance and subsequent career opportunities. An overview will be provided of the curriculum developed through the project.
