AccessLex Institute is a nonprofit organization committed to helping talented, purpose-driven students find their path from aspiring lawyer to fulfilled professional. In partnership with our nearly 200 Member law schools, improving access and positively influencing legal education have been at the heart of our Company’s mission since 1983.

Through the work of the AccessLex Center for Legal Education Excellence, we advocate for policies that make legal education work better for students and society alike, and conduct research on the most critical issues facing legal education today: improving access for all students, with an emphasis on historically underrepresented minority students and students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds; increasing affordability; and strengthening the value of a legal degree.

The AccessLex Center for Education and Financial Capability offers on-campus and online financial education programming and resources to help students confidently manage their finances on their way to achieving personal and professional success. This Center also provides professional development opportunities and guidance for school administrators working to improve financial education at their institutions.
