Gateway to Justice
Gateway to Justice is this year’s theme for the LSAC Annual Meeting and Educational Conference, and its ramifications reach far wider and deeper than our gathering. Gateway to Justice is a call to action, an affirmation of our commitment, and a mission for every one of us. It is also how we recognize, honor, and celebrate the critical role law school admission professionals and their schools play in shaping the legal profession and industry.
Law schools and the education they provide hold the key to advancing access, addressing the structural inequities found throughout our society, and, ultimately, “bending the arc” toward justice. This year’s theme was born out of our desire to help you, the gatekeepers, to enhance and expand your expertise, but we recognize this part of our efforts is just the beginning. For all of us, the real work begins once the conference ends and we put what we’ve learned into practice with the law students who rely on us for guidance. After all, lawyers become leaders in all areas of law practice, business and industry, education, public service, civic society, and more.
