Building Impact: Supporting growth from dreams to law school

Building pathways into the legal profession for students across Utah

UCLI’s Education Program, PLEDGE (Promoting Legal Education to Diverse Groups Everywhere), is designed to make legal careers accessible to students at every stage of their journey. Through a combination of outreach, mentorship, and financial support, PLEDGE provides structured pathways for K–12 students, pre-law students, and law students to explore, prepare for, and succeed in the legal profession.

Anyone can be a lawyer. There is something for everyone.

Together, UCLI’s K–12, pre-law, and law student initiatives form a comprehensive pathway designed to expand access to legal education and ultimately the legal profession. Across all stages, these programs provide mentorship, hands-on experience, and financial support that help reduce barriers and increase opportunity for students in Utah. Behind every number is a student, a mentor, and a future made possible. The data below reflects the collective reach and impact of this work.
