From participants to mentors: Pathway to Law ambassadors give back

The Native American Pathway to Law team is excited to host a five-day Pathway to Law Workshop at the University of Wisconsin Law School on June 3–7, 2025. This workshop provides aspiring law students with valuable resources, including application review, LSAT preparation, financial aid guidance, and more—all in a non-recruitment environment designed to support Indigenous students on their legal journey.

For many, Pathway to Law has been a pivotal step toward law school. Five ambassadors share how this program solidified their commitment to pursuing a legal career and gave them the tools to strengthen their law school application:

Damian Shapes Padilla, Pathway to Law ’18
Chad Edwards, Pathway to Law ’19
Asunción Hampson-Medina, Pathway to Law ’19
Ariana Romeo, Pathway to Law ’21
Mexica Torrez-Miner, Pathway to Law ’23

Their success ensures that future Native American students grow up seeing leaders who look like them, reinforcing the power of possibility and shaping the future of Indian Country.

Aspiring Native law students—this is your chance! Apply today and take the first step toward a legal career that uplifts and protects Indian Country.
