PRESENTS THE 3RD ANNUAL
Break Into
Law
CONFERENCE
COVERING EVERYTHING FROM law school admissions to advancing your legal career
Our Vision
Why It Matters
Creating diversity, equity, and inclusion in the legal field starts with ensuring that educational opportunities are accessible to all students, with an emphasis on first-generation college students, minority students, and other marginalized students pursuing higher education.
Break Into Law School® is a brand under our 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Barrier Breakers®, Inc., whose mission is to increase access to and success in higher education for BIPOC and other marginalized students. Our Break Into Law School® Podcast has helped us empower and inform diverse law school applicants, students, and professionals to break generational barriers and enter the legal field.
We hope that this three-day virtual conference will be an inspiration to aspiring law school applicants, current law school students, and young practitioners as they embark on their legal careers.

"[Attending this conference] was one of the best things I could have ever done for myself during this process. Every panel left me feel encouraged AND inspired. I loved seeing such a diverse panel of professionals and students sharing their experiences with me and my fellow peers.

There are people that have accomplished their dreams, and are now rooting for me to accomplish mine." - Law School Applicant
