Spivey Consulting Group fully supports equitable access and diverse representation in legal education. Our commitment to providing the best free law school admissions content, advice, and resources available—as well as the extensive pro bono and low bono work we do each year—stems from this value and mission.
We are excited to announce that, as part of this ongoing commitment, Spivey Consulting Group is launching its third year of our formal Pro-Bono Consulting Program, which offers free law school admissions consulting services to a limited number of selected diverse and low-income applicants who are applying to law school this cycle.
Selected applicants will work with one of our Spivey consultants one-on-one to prepare their law school applications for up to 5 law schools. This opportunity offers the services available to our application package clients, found on our website here, at no cost.
Qualified applicants will fulfill the following requirements:
- Commitment to apply to law school for the 2023-2024 application cycle (entering law school fall 2024)
- Low-income and/or diverse background
Application Instructions:
- The deadline is Wednesday, June 14, 2023, at 11:59 PM EST. No selections will be made prior to the deadline, and there is no preference for earlier submissions.
- To apply, please fill out the application here. You can preview the questions, short answers, and attachments we ask for below.
- Note that we will not be evaluating applicants based on the relative competitiveness of their law school profiles, but we will consider whether or not we feel we can help you achieve your goals. We will primarily evaluate applicants based on significant financial need and prospective contributions to diversity in the legal field.
- Email paula@spiveyconsulting.com with any questions.
- Note: applicants who are currently waiting for paid services with us are more than welcome to apply, if qualified. If this applies to you, please indicate so in your application.
