2011 NEW YORK CITY BAR DIVERSITY FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

2011 NEW YORK CITY BAR DIVERSITY FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

In 1991, the Committee on Recruitment and Retention of Lawyers (the "Committee") established a program of summer clerkships for first-year students to address the under-representation of minority lawyers in law firms and corporate law departments. The New York City Bar Diversity Fellowship Program (the "Fellowship Program" or "Program") is available to all underrepresented populations in the field of law. The goal of the Fellowship Program is to offer first-year students from underrepresented populations a unique summer employment opportunity in outstanding law firms and corporate law departments. The Committee accordingly invites all eleven New York City area law schools to participate in the Fellowship Program.

There will be an informational program about the application process on Monday, November 22 from 12:30-1:30 (Room 308) and repeated again from 5:30-6:30 (Room 310). Applications will be available in the CSO on Monday, November 22 (after 1:30). Please contact Erica Edwards-O'Neal for more information. (ericae@tourolaw.edu)
