About Journey to JD
The Journey to JD: Law School Fair was created to intentionally center community college students and rising college seniors who are exploring law school as a future path.
Community colleges educate a large and diverse population of students — including first-generation college students, transfer students, working students, and those from historically underrepresented backgrounds — who are often overlooked in traditional law school recruitment spaces.
By hosting a law school fair specifically designed for this population, Rio Hondo College aims to demystify the law school admissions process, expand access to information, and help students envision themselves as future law students and legal professionals.
