As part of the 2018 Ohio State Law Fair, AccessLex Institute will be hosting a mini-session on Financing a Legal Education.  Aimed at Seniors heading to law school, this event is open to all OSU students and graduates.  From AccessLex:

"Pursuing a legal education is a significant life decision—one that will allow you to following any number of professional pathways. You may ultimately choose to practice in a corporate firm, go into public interest law or use your legal background in another field. But regardless of where you end up, it is important for you to understand the realities of your student loans and finances now. In this session, we’ll discuss the costs of pursuing legal education, describe the financial aid application process, review the available financing option and identify ways to be financially prepared to achieve your goals."

A national nonprofit organization, AccessLex works with the Law School Admission Council and most law schools in the country to improve access to legal education and to help students plan their financial approach to law school.  For more information, visit www.accesslex.org.
