DRI announces its
annual Law
Student Diversity Scholarship program, open to rising (2015-16) second- and third-year African American, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, LGBT and Multi-Racial
students. The goal of these scholarships is to provide financial assistance to two worthy law students from ABA-accredited law schools to promote, in a tangible way, the
DRI Diversity Statement of Principle.
All rising second- and third-year female law students are also eligible, regardless of race or ethnicity. Any other rising second- and third-year law students
who come from backgrounds that would add to the cause of diversity, regardless of race or gender, are eligible to apply.
To qualify for this scholarship, a candidate must be a full-time student. Evening students also qualify for consideration if they have completed one-third or
more of the total credit hours required for a degree by the applicant's law school.
Two scholarships in the
amount of $10,000 each will be awarded to applicants who best meet the following criteria:
-
Demonstrated academic excellence
-
Service to the profession
-
Service to the community
-
Service to the cause of diversity
Applications must be received by DRI no later than Monday, March 30, 2015. Scholarship winners will be notified in advance and will be officially announced at
the Diversity for Success Seminar this June in Chicago.
Attend the Diversity for Success Seminar
DRI's Diversity Committee invites you to its tenth annual
Diversity for Success Seminar, J une 11-12 in Chicago. This year's seminar will provide an assessment of where we have been as a legal profession, where we are now, and where we want to be as to the important issues
of diversity and inclusion.
The seminar will provide an in-depth look at the state of diversity and inclusion initiatives in the legal community. This year's dynamic list of speakers will engage in spirited and educational dialogue regarding these issues. Learn about creative and effective strategies
to help achieve desired diversity objectives while increasing lawyer productivity, law firm profitability, and client satisfaction.
