Student testimonials

MacArthur L. Stant II

Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law, ASU

“I had thought about applying to law school for a long time and had serious doubts about it, my PTL Workshop experience was the encouragement and confidence that I needed to realize that I could get into law school. What was so assuring was that the coordinators and presenters were also Native American, and I knew that they had been where I wanted to go, and they wanted to make law school possible for me."

Cassondra Church

Michigan State University College of Law

“I learned about the law school admission process, what the law school experience was like, how to pay for law school, strategies for doing well on the LSAT, and career opportunities for Native American attorneys. Not only did I gain a plethora of knowledge and skills, but I also had the pleasure of meeting several professors that specialized in Indigenous law and other aspiring Native American Law students.”

Grace Carson

University of California, Los Angeles School of Law

“It was a wonderful opportunity not only to find the resources I needed for the law school application process, but in finding a community of Native students and adults in the same process as I am. The PTL workshop outlines the entire law school application process and exactly how to prepare for it. The PTL Workshop was essential in my acceptance.”
