"I am pleased to express my strong support for the UC Irvine Saturday Academy of Law.  This program addresses, in a very tangible way, the need to ensure that the field of law has solid professionals in place who come from diverse backgrounds and experiences. We’re committed to ensuring that UC Irvine serves all members of our community.  Through the Saturday Academy of Law, UC Irvine will honor that commitment by partnering with experienced teachers from grades 8 through 12, scholars from our faculty, and practitioners from the local legal community. Together, we will help underserved students realize their aspirations to pursue a career in law."
