- W2767702917 abstract "ESSAY DIVERSITY CHALLENGES: CLEO STUDENTS IN SEARCH OF AN IDENTITY Peter C. Alexander* I. INTRODUCTION Who am I? Can I conceal myself forever more, pretend I'm not the man I was before? And must my name until I die be no more than an alibi? Must I lie? How can I ever face my fellow men? How can I ever face my self again?... Who am 1?1 In the summer of 1993, I had the opportunity to teach Legal Writing in the Region VI CLEO 2 Institute at the University of Pittsburgh School of * Associate Professor of Law, Dickinson School of Law. B.A., Southern Illinois University, Carbondale; J.D. Northeastern University. I would like to thank Professors Robert Ackerman, Kevin Deasy, Louis DelDuca, David Herring, William Piatt and Jane Rigler for their helpful comments. Special thanks to Irshad Abdal-Haqq, Esq., former Executive Director of CLEO, and to Hon. Harry T. Edwards for his inspiration, encouragement and cooperation in writing this essay. Special thanks also to the administration at the University of Illinois College of Law for providing me with research and writing space during the summer of 1994, which enabled me to complete a draft of this article without distraction. 1.

The Council on Legal Education Opportunity ( CLEO ), formed in 1968, was created to: expand and enhance the opportunities to study and practice law for members of disad- vantaged groups-chiefly Negroes, American Indians, and Ibiro-Americans -and thus help to remedy the present imbalance of these disadvantaged groups in the legal profes- sion in the United States. Nancy Fulop, The 1969 CLEO Summer Institute Reports: A Summary, Symposium, 1970; U. TOL. L. R. 633 (1970). CLEO was originally funded as a legal services pilot project under Section 232 of the Equal Opportunity Act and funds were obtained from an Office of Economic Opportunity grant. Id. at 640. Today, CLEO is sponsored jointly by the American Bar Association, the Association of American Law Schools, the Hispanic National Bar Association, the Law School Admission Council, the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association and the National Bar Association. See 66 A.B.A. J. 528 (1980). The organization's focus is to provide pre-law school exposure to persons from economic and cultural backgrounds underrepresented in the legal profession. Id. The CLEO institutes, which take place around the country each summer, are funded by CLEO through the U.S. Department of Education and from supporting regional law school consortia. The primary objectives of CLEO are: 1) To recruit to the CLEO program members of disadvantaged groups not likely to be ac- cepted at accredited law schools under present admission standards; 2) To motivate these students to study and practice law; 3) To acclimatize the students to both the academic and psychological rigors of law school life; 4) To strengthen their academic credentials by training them in the key skills required of a law student; 5) To evaluate performance-thus providing an effective alternative to the traditional Law School Admissions Test; 6) To successfully place the CLEO graduates in ABA-approved law schools;" @default.
