The Texas Young Lawyers Association (TYLA) is proud to announce it has received a $45,000 grant from the Texas Bar Foundation to create a website to educate prospective law students on the law school process from start to finish.
Expected to launch this spring, the website will break down barriers faced by nontraditional and first-time law students by providing practical information on all aspects of legal education in videos and texts featuring experts from law schools across the state.
Topics include the law school applications process, pre-admissions tests (e.g., the LSAT), financing costs, first semester challenges, the Socratic teaching method law professors use, law school extracurriculars, bar exam prep, and legal careers. TYLA will collaborate with Scott Collins’ website design company Culture Farm to build the site.
TYLA is excited to add this upcoming resource to its myriad digital materials educating Texans on the judiciary system, legal rights, and the legal education system. Past projects tackled issues such as constitutional rights, legal rights gained at age 18, jury service and how jury trials work, wrongful criminal convictions, education law, and animal abuse laws.

This project would not be possible without help from the Texas Bar Foundation. TYLA is proud to continue to partner with the foundation to serve Texans and Texas attorneys. Since its inception in 1965, the Texas Bar Foundation has awarded more than $28 million in grants to law-related programs. Supported by members of the State Bar of Texas, the Texas Bar Foundation is the nation’s largest charitably funded bar foundation.
