The courses in the program were identified by the California State Bar\u0026rsquo;s Council on Access and Fairness based on empirical studies of factors important to lawyer effectiveness. Students interested in a career in law should also complete their Associate\u0026rsquo;s Degree and an academic major leading to transfer to a four-year college or university.\nUnlike medical schools or other graduate programs, law schools do not have any undergraduate course requirements. They seek to assemble a diverse group of students with different backgrounds and undergraduate majors. As a result, college graduates with any undergraduate major may achieve admission to law school. Although law schools do not have specific undergraduate course requirements, some legal specialties are limited to students possessing certain types of undergraduate degrees. For example, patent lawyers are typically required to have a degree in engineering or in the sciences.\nThe Pathway to Law School certificate provides students with the opportunity to major in the subject of their choice while strengthening their abilities in areas that are associated with success in law school and the practice of law. Chaffey College is one of a select group of California community colleges participating in a program providing a unique pathway from community college to six California law schools and their respective undergraduate schools. There are currently six law schools (and associated undergraduate schools) in the program: Loyola Law School, Los Angeles (Loyola Marymount University); Santa Clara University; University of California, Davis; University of California, Irvine; University of San Francisco and University of Southern California. Chaffey College has a special relationship with the participating law schools and their universities. In addition to completing the certificate program, students must complete all major prerequisites for his/her major as required by the participating undergraduate institutions and must transfer successfully to one of the six universities listed above. It is important to highlight that Pathway to Law School students are not in any way limited in their choices of undergraduate or law school.\nChaffey Pathway to Law School students who complete this certificate are designated as COAF Scholars (Council on Access and Fairness). This will entitle them to the benefits provided by the pathway program if they complete this seven course certificate program and earn their undergraduate degree. Students are strongly advised to participate in an approved public interest/civic service activity. Interested students should contact their counselor or a member of the Chaffey College law faculty for more information on this program."},"ceterms:subjectWebpage":"https://chaffey.programmapper.com/academics/interest-clusters/8c518b91-3ad0-41d1-b679-f14328f09ee2/programs/4bc98145-8153-042e-80c8-101d8d163e25","ceterms:credentialStatusType":{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/CredentialStatus","ceterms:targetNode":"credentialStat:Active","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Credential Status"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Active"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Awards of the credential are ongoing."}},"ceterms:instructionalProgramType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cipcode/Default.aspx?y=56","ceterms:targetNode":"https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cipcode/cipdetail.aspx?y=56\u0026cip=22","ceterms:codedNotation":"22","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Classification of Instructional Programs"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"LEGAL PROFESSIONS AND STUDIES"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Instructional programs that prepare individuals for the legal profession, for related support professions and professional legal research, and focus on the study of legal issues in non-professional programs."}}]}
