Aspen Publishers, one of the four brands of Wolters Kluwer Law & Business, is a leading information provider for attorneys, business professionals and law students. Aspen's distinguished authors produce some of the most widely adopted law school casebooks and it is the leading law school study aid publisher with popular series like Emanuel Law Outlines, Law-In-A-Flash and Crunchtime. Written by preeminent authorities, Aspen Publisher's trusted legal education resources provide professors and students with reliable, up-to-date and effective resources for successful instruction and study in all areas of the law.

WK understands that increasing the number of diverse law students is not enough to build a bigger pipeline; diverse students must also excel academically in law school in order to become the legal profession's next generation of leaders. Therefore, WK funds Law Preview's National Diversity Scholarship Fund to allow diverse law students to attend the Law Preview program -- an initiative that expands upon our other pipeline efforts by providing scholarship recipients with a week long law school prep course taught by some of the country's leading law professors. WK is proud to provide this solid foundation upon which our scholarship recipients can begin their legal studies.
