For many young people, meeting their favorite actor or singer might cause them to swoon. For California State University, Fullerton student Maiyah Lyles, though, her fangirl moment came when meeting a different kind of star: Orange County Superior Court Judge Elizabeth Macias.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe came to campus and told us her story,\u201d Lyles said, \u201cand in my head, I was thinking, \u2018This is the person I want to be.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Lyles is one of only 20 undergraduate students selected out of 150 applicants to participate in Chapman University Fowler School of Law\u2019s summer Pre-Law Undergraduate Scholars (PLUS) Program<\/a>, which introduces community college and university students from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds to the law school experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis program is an opportunity to expose students to what law school is going to be like and what they\u2019re going to need to be successful in the law school application process,\u201d said Justin Cruz, Assistant Dean of Admission and Diversity Initiatives at the Fowler School of Law. \u201cWhat it really does is allows us to develop campus leaders who will also become the next generation of law students.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thanks to a three-year, $300,000 grant from the Law School Admission Council (LSAC), participation in the program is provided at no cost to students, in addition to their housing and meals. Over five weeks, they take several law classes, which are taught by both Fowler School of Law faculty and guest instructors from local courts and law practices.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe PLUS students learn about important law topics including immigration law, criminal law, and legal research and writing,\u201d said Fowler School of Law Dean Matt Parlow. \u201cThe skills gained in this program help students build confidence and a develop sense of what it takes not only to get into law school, but also to be successful in life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"PLUS
For five weeks each summer, PLUS students get a taste of what it’s like to be a law student, both in classrooms and through service projects.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In addition to their work in the classroom, PLUS students also work on service projects with nonprofits and legal clinics in the local community, including Catholic Charities, Community Legal Aid Society of Orange County, Public Law Center, and Veterans Legal Institute.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would go to Catholic Charities and everything I learned in class was applied there,\u201d said PLUS student Khalea Edwards, \u201cbut it\u2019s heightened, because it\u2019s real life.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Lyles, not only has participating in the PLUS program reinforced her interest in a legal career, but by introducing her and her classmates to working attorneys and exposing them to the day-to-day reality of being a lawyer, it has painted a clearer picture of what a legal career might look like.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best part has been getting to meet attorneys,\u201d Lyles said, \u201cJust to see them living and breathing. On TV, you just see them arguing in court. It makes the job more realistic for me, knowing what they actually do and what I need to do to become an attorney.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s PLUS students hail from around the United States\u201414 come from California community colleges or universities, and six are from out-of-state institutions, including four students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne goal of the program is to expose students from outside California to the vibrant community and family found at Chapman,\u201d said Cruz. \u201cStudents from Historically Black Colleges and Universities typically do not have as much access to pre-law programs, so to be able to bring them to Chapman from their respective campuses on the East Coast is really exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Edwards, who will be studying political science at the University of Missouri in the fall, heard about the program through her relationship with the Princeton Prize in Race Relations, which she received from Princeton University in 2017<\/a> for her work toward improving race relations at her high school. A St. Louis resident, she was inspired to become an activist by a personal tragedy in her family that happened about the time of the controversial Michael Brown shooting in nearby Ferguson, Missouri.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to be a lawyer not only to create change within my community, but also to create societal change,\u201d Edwards said. \u201cKids in communities like mine need faces of color in positions to really engage \u2013 not just lawyers, but to see people who are in higher positions \u2013 it does make a difference. It does matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although launched in only 2017, Fowler\u2019s PLUS Program has already seen productive results as the graduates of its inaugural session complete their undergraduate studies. First-year participant Cole Clark joined the Kappa Alpha Pi pre-law fraternity at University of California San Diego as director of professional development and was recently admitted to the University of Southern California Gould School of Law. Another 2017 alumna, Jenna Balsiger, is already working in the law profession as a legal assistant as she finishes her last semester at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire in December and studies for the Law School Admission Test (LSAT).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re directly impacting the lives of students who don\u2019t have parents or family members who went to law school,\u201d said Cruz. \u201cThey go back to their respective schools with this network, this skill set, and a thirst for leadership. We want every student to leave this program feeling like they belong in the legal profession.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
