Ready to take your law school application to the next level?

We’re excited to announce the BTG-Spivey Law School Application Workshop, a virtual fundraising event hosted in partnership with Spivey Consulting—a team of former law school admissions officers who know exactly what it takes to stand out in the applicant pool.

Date:July 18
Time:1:00 PM CST / 11:00 AM PST
Format: Virtual (Zoom)

In this workshop, you’ll receive proven, concrete strategies to strengthen every element of your law school application, including:

✓ At least three topic ideas for your personal statement;
✓ Targeted resume edits specific to your application;
✓ A blueprint for crafting optimal “Why X” essays based on your profile and goals;
✓ Insider knowledge on how law school applications are reviewed and evaluated; and
✓ Guidance on letters of recommendation, experience and perspective essays, and addenda

Win a Free Application Review from Spivey Consulting Group: Three randomly selected participants will win a full application review with a former law school admissions dean, valued at $775. Winners will submit their complete application package—transcripts, CAS report, application form, resume, and all essays—and receive a one-hour virtual consultation to discuss strategic revisions and get their questions answered.

Donate $50 to Bridging the Gap, in the link in our bio, to secure your spot.

Invest in your future. Your dream law school is closer than you think!

*All donations will go to the Bridging the Gap Scholarship, Inc.*

We are honored to announce Jessica Stacker as a 2026 Bridging the Gap Scholar!

Jessica graduated with honors from the University of Missouri-Columbia in 2023 with a degree in Political Science. Throughout her academic career, she has demonstrated the self-determination and resilience that define exceptional future attorneys—turning obstacles into fuel for her pursuit of a legal career.

Jessica is drawn to Big Law for its rigorous training, mentorship opportunities, and the ability to handle high-profile, complex cases with far-reaching implications. Equally important, she views Big Law as a platform to build the skills and financial stability necessary to give back—both to her family and to communities in need of pro bono and public interest legal services.

We are proud to support Jessica as she takes the next step in her journey.

We are pleased to introduce Kacy Askew as a 2026 Bridging the Gap Scholar!

Kacy graduated with honors from Louisiana State University in May 2024 with a degree in Mass Communications. She currently serves as a legal assistant at a large law firm, where she gains firsthand experience in corporate, real estate, and business matters. In this role, Kacy is often the only Black legal assistant in her office—a reality that has only strengthened her resolve to pursue a legal career and expand representation in Big Law.

Rooted in a family of educators, Kacy is deeply committed to advocacy, equity, and service. She aims to practice in intellectual property and real estate law, with a focus on helping Black creators, entrepreneurs, and families secure ownership and access to opportunities that have historically been out of reach.

We are honored to support Kacy as she prepares for law school admission in Fall 2027.

We’re thrilled to welcome Elena LeVan to our Board of Directors!

Elena is a federal appellate law clerk whose career has been defined by purpose-driven service and an unwavering commitment to justice. From organizing food and resource drives for people experiencing homelessness as a child alongside her mother, to becoming a leading advocate for survivors of sexual violence, Elena has spent her life in service to others.

As an undergraduate at the University of Maryland, Elena found her calling in sexual violence prevention and response. She served as Director of Sexual Misconduct Prevention for the Student Government Association, Chair of the Title IX Student Advisory Board, and a Policy Intern for the Maryland Coalition Against Sexual Assault. She graduated in the top 5% of her class with the prestigious Adele H. Stamp Memorial Award for leadership, service, and academics.

Elena went on to Washington University in St. Louis School of Law, where she graduated Order of the Coif and received the Dean’s Service Award, Academic Excellence Award, and the National Association of Women Lawyers’ Outstanding Graduate Award. She founded Sexual Violence Prevention and Advocacy (SVPA), served as Senior Executive Editor for the Washington University Law Review, won the Golden Quill Award for the highest-ranked moot court brief, and co-taught an undergraduate course on Law, Gender, and Justice—all while volunteering as a YWCA Sexual Assault Response Team member supporting survivors in local hospitals.

Elena’s scholarship has earned national recognition. Her academic note, Fruit of the Poisonous Tree, which presents a novel legal theory protecting inmates who become pregnant as a result of sexual victimization, received the Law360 Distinguished Legal Writing Award at the 2024 Burton Awards, presented at the Library of Congress.

Her practice experience spans union-side labor and employment law, reproductive justice litigation, employment discrimination, immigration law, and the federal judiciary, including a clerkship with the Honorable Elizabeth Erny Foote for the Western District of Louisiana.
