Financial Education Curriculum

MAX by AccessLex

AccessLex Institute

Abstract

Many law students today are taking on far higher debt loads than they have the experience to manage. But debt management is far from the whole story. Students often lack a framework for making good financial decisions, which can impact every aspect of their personal and professional futures. And while financial education counseling may be available, it is often not robust enough to meet their needs, nor is it tailored to address their individual circumstances. That’s why AccessLex created MAX, the first-of-its-kind, multi-faceted personal finance curriculum exclusively for law students. MAX combines in-person workshops, online and virtual programming, and one-on-one counseling to leverage the strengths of law students, address their weaknesses and fit into their demanding schedules.
