A new University of Arizona program aims to increase diversity as well as motivate aspiring Latina lawyers.
Known as the “Lawtina Mentoring Program,” the program pairs Latina Bachelor of Arts in Law students with mentors working in the legal field.
The semester-long program in the James E. Rogers College of Law serves as a guide to students interested in attending law school.
Jessica Findley, a research scholar in the College of Law and the Interim Director of Foreign Academic success, helped establish the mentoring program alongside Marla Franco assistant vice provost of Hispanic Serving Institution Initiatives, and funding from the AccessLex Institute, which provides support to law students.
