How a partnership works

01

Sign a free partnership agreement

A one-page agreement adds your school to our verified-student list. No cost, no exclusivity requirement.

02

Students sign up with a school email

Verified students get matched to legal aid fellowships, pre-bar roles, and rural placements automatically.

03

You get an outcomes report

Twice a year, we send your office an aggregated report of fellowship starts and placements for accreditation and advising.

Questions career services teams ask

No. LAAC Pipeline is free for law schools and their students. We are funded by grants and host organization contributions, not tuition or placement fees.

LAAC does not employ fellows. We facilitate matches between students and independent legal aid organizations. Placement is not guaranteed.
