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.
Dream. Believe. Inspire.
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.
