Best Practices for Building and Supporting the Pipeline to the Legal Profession: Post Conference Report (April 2014)

SUMMARY

Following its program, Best Practices for Building and Supporting the Pipeline to the Legal Profession, the Committee on Diversity Pipeline Initiatives issued a report outlining the specific strategies that were discussed at the event. Discussion focused on two key areas of effective pipeline programs: 1) those that promote academic success in law school; and 2) programs that effectively prepare minority law students for entry into the profession. The report is meant to serve as a guide for law schools, law firms, corporations and other legal employers so they can be better equipped to generate opportunities whereby they can continue to support minority law school students
