While minorities make up more than 30 percent of the country's population, they make up less than 10 percent of the country's judges and lawyers. We're here to change that.
WHO WE ARE&WHAT WE DO
The Law and Leadership Institute introduces promising high school students from under-served urban communities in Akron, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton and Toledo to the legal profession through an intensive college preparatory program on law and leadership. Students enrolled in the program gain critical academic skills in studying, test-taking and self-expression, in addition to self-confidence, an awareness of college-level expectations and positive role models to encourage and nurture their educational and professional goals. The Institute is dedicated to helping its students achieve success as future college and law students, and leaders in their communities and professions.
Current eighth grade students from Akron, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton and Toledo can apply to attend the Law and Leadership Summer Institute for the summer before their freshman year of high school. Applications must be received by April 15, 2010 in order to be considered.

As an LLI donor, you have the unique opportunity to help impact the life of a young person in Ohio. We know you share our goal of preparing these students to succeed in the classroom and in life. While LLI was originally supported through a grant from the Ohio Supreme Court by the Ohio Legislature, the program's funding was a victim of budget cuts in 2009. The Ohio Bar Foundation stepped in to keep the program running and LLI now relies heavily on donations from individuals, organizations, and foundations to operate its eight programs across six Ohio cities. You can support LLI in many different ways as a principal donor.
