For over a decade, For People of Color, Inc. ("FPOC") has provided free, high-quality law school admissions consulting services to thousands of prospective law school applicants. FPOC is widely recognized as a leader in its efforts to diversify the profession. Its workshops and publications are credited with assisting students gain admission to the country's most selective law schools.

In 2000, Anthony Solana, Jr., FPOC's founder, president, and chairperson created the organization during his first year at UCLA School of Law in order to address the dearth of high quality pre-law services available to students of color. Historically, law school educational consulting services were exclusively available to students who could afford the thousands of dollars for a private consultant to assist in preparing a competitive application package. In order to remedy this disparity, Anthony authored a landmark publication entitled “A Guide to the Law School Application Process For People of Color” and made it available, for free, via FPOC’s website. The guide is hailed as one of the best resources for law school applicants of color.

Subsequently, FPOC complimented this guide with a series of annual conferences—held in law schools throughout the country—that attract thousands of prospective law students. FPOC also published two other popular publications, “A Guide to the Bar Examination Process For People of Color” and “A Guide to the Judicial Clerkship Application Process For People of Color.”

For People of Color, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization.
