With a strong belief that it is easier to learn from the mistakes of others, that people should not have to learn everything the hard way and that it is senseless for people to keep reinventing to wheel, Evangeline was inspired to write books sharing information and lessons learned so that those who read them will be told what they need to know so that they can go into the law school admissions process and into law school informed, knowledgeable and adequately forewarned. In her works, she addresses law school admissions and the law school experience with the goal to especially reach those who would not have access to this information – minorities and those from educationally and economically disadvantaged backgrounds. She seeks to not only provide critical information, but to give people much-needed reality checks and to inspire them to be proactive in making their educational goals a reality and to become personal cheerleaders for themselves when others are not supportive and expect less of them that what they are capable of accomplishing.

Evangeline M. Mitchell, J.D., Ed.M. is the founder of Hope's Promise Publishing, the informational website For Future Black Law Students: Information and Support Network, and the National Association of Future Black Law Students (NAFBLS).
