Did You Know ?
The Minority & Diversity Clerkship Program
The Minority & Diversity Clerkship Program had a very successful 31st year . Through the program , we were able to place 17 first year law students in clerkships with firms and corporate legal departments . In addition , thanks to generous grants from the Atlanta Bar Foundation and Lawyer Referral & Information Service , we were able to fund three judicial clerkships . It is through our members ’ support through dues and donations that we were able to give 20 minority 1L students an opportunity they may not have otherwise been afforded .
The Program thanks the following firms for participating and making our 31st year a continued success :
Alston & Bird , LLP Arnall Golden Gregory LLP Burr & Forman , LLP Cox Communications , Inc .
