The school-to-prison pipeline refers to the system of laws, policies and practices that results in children being funneled out of schools and into the prison sentence. Studies have clearly shown that this system disproportionately impacts students of color, students with disabilities and those who are LGBT+. As we strive to increase the pipeline for diverse students into the legal profession, how are those efforts impacted by the school-to-prison pipeline? What are the long-term impediments for prospective law school candidates impacted by the school-to-prison pipeline? Is there a place for innovative pipeline programs to mitigate that impact?
