JD Genesis Inc.

JD Genesis Inc. is a non-profit (EIN: 33-4260076) that focuses on mental health, balance, and the role of therapy for underrepresented women pursuing law.

Our mission is to increase the number of underrepresented women entering law school by delivering culturally responsive wellness coaching, mentorship, and admissions readiness support, ensuring not just access to legal education, but sustainability and success within it.

Our vision is a legal field transformed by the presence of mentally well, socially conscious, and professionally supported women who bring diverse life experiences into advocacy, policy, and justice.

This year, we will select three Bay Area (California) based participants who have graduated from college at least two years ago for the inaugural JD Genesis Fellowship, beginning in late January 2026. The program will not only prepare participants for law school in the 2027-2028 academic year but also help kick start their careers in law with sustainable ambition and wellness as priorities.

Through a cohort based model, JD Genesis will offer a suite of high-touch resources (valued at over $6,000 per participant) to include an in-person professional development retreat in Oakland, CA, alongside therapy vouchers, personalized LSAT tutoring, LSAT prep course, one LSAT administration, mentorship, and detailed application assistance in the law school admissions process.
