Cuthpert expressed his goal to “ continue to collaborate with attorneys and judges to increase the level of knowledge and professionalism so that we can avoid the pitfalls of the legal profession and the judiciary ” and to “ continue and establish programs for the benefit of law students and our youth . These programs are essential to ensure that the deficiency in minority students entering law school , specifically African-American males , does not persist .”
