Since its inception, CLEO has estalished itself as a leading partner for increasing the number of low-income/minority law school graduates. The partnerships CLEO established with ABA accredited law schools have played a major role in CLEO's ability to fulfill its mission of expanding legal education opportunites for economically and educationally disadvantaged students. Law school partners not only developed the summer program curriculum and acted as host to the participants, they also helped fund the program through varying financial and other contribution. More importantly, over the years many of our partners admitted CLEO graduates in their first-year classes and provided support for them throughout law school. The partner law schools identified below, have played a special role as Members of the CLEO 2000 Consortium on Diversity in Legal Education. We invite and encourage you to view their websites to learn more about their commitment to diversity in legal education.
