Meet with Teria Thornton, JD, National Pre-Law and Diversity Initiatives Director of the AccessLex Institute who will be discussing everything from how to position yourself for financial responsibility long before it's time to deal with law school loans to the recent federal legislative changes to that professional school loan process.
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.
Pre-registration via Handshake is recommended (though not required).
This session is focused on first years and sophomores but is open to all Ohio State students, all years, all majors. Bring your questions!
