The Pathways Series empowers students to learn more about and engage with different legal careers and professionals. Through the Pathways Series, the Center highlights a variety of career paths and successful lawyers. The program exposes Texas Law students to the diversity of the legal field and provides opportunities for mentorship and networking. The program supports professional development, both for Texas Law students beginning their careers as well as for more senior professionals. This program is especially valuable to first-generation students and students and lawyers from underrepresented groups.
