In Non-Compliant Podcast Episode 48, Host Jay Edelson, nationally recognized plaintiff’s attorney and founder of Edelson PC, and Guest Jennifer Rosato Perea, a nationally recognized leader in legal education and DePaul University College of Law's Dean, discuss DePaul's new First Generation in Law Scholars Program (FGLP).

Earlier this year, DePaul University College of Law announced that with the help of two alumni, they were launching a program aimed at providing a pathway for first-generation law students. FGLP invests in first-generation students from historically underrepresented groups and students who demonstrate an interest in attending law school in the future, according to the school’s announcement.

The three-year, intensive summer program will provide rising freshmen, sophomores and juniors enrolled in Chicago-area colleges and universities with an immersive, holistic experience that will introduce them to law school, the legal profession and the practice of law, according to the school.

To start the show, Jay and Dean Rosato discuss the origin of FGLP, and the goal of the program (6:00).

Next, Jay and Dean Rosato discuss how *you* can get involved. To discuss partnerships or financial contributions, email Dean Rosato at JROSATO@depaul.edu, or donate at https://give.depaul.edu/FGLP.

Later in the episode, Jay takes Dean Rosato up on her very generous offer to be Non-Compliant’s Dean of the Day. Jay starts by asking Dean Rosato if there’s a difference with what law students want out of their career today compared with several years ago (31:00).

To end the show, the conversation then turns to student activism (39:00).
