LEOP is an opportunity program that recognizes that the traditional numeric criteria used to determine admissions may not be sufficient indicators of academic potential for students who have experienced significant obstacles—educational, economic, social, or physical—that have restricted their access to academic opportunities and resources.  LEOP students receive academic support to ensure their success as law students.  In addition to academic support, LEOP students have a vibrant, rich and robust community in which to thrive and develop while at UC Hastings.
