Join academics, practitioners, members of the bench, students, and others for a thoughtful program that examines the challenges the legal profession faces as it strives to increase the number of practicing minority attorneys. This “journey” will include presentations on the pipeline, from primary school through law school, followed by the recruitment process and challenges in the workplace. The program will conclude with an examination of the judicial pathway for minority lawyers. Students will have the opportunity to participate in "speed mentoring" with professionals representing a variety of legal settings.
This program has been approved by the Board on Continuing Legal Education of the Supreme Court of New Jersey for 4 hours of total CLE credit. Of these, 2.5 hours qualify as hours of credit for ethics/professionalism, and 1.5 qualify as hours of credit toward certification in Constitutional Law and Law Practice Management.
