Practicing Attorneys for Law Students Program Inc. hasn't added a story.
A rising tide lifts all boats. This simple concept is at the heart of the Practicing Attorneys for Law Students’ mission. Every law student of color that we help bridge the path from law school to a post-graduation job represents another step toward redefining the traditional image of what a “successful attorney” looks like or where they come from.
For over 35 years, PALS has been at the forefront of developing impactful programs for diverse attorneys and law students of color, as well as building a pipeline of diverse attorneys that are prepared to enter the legal profession and make a difference. By inspiring, empowering and connecting law students of color with a legal community committed to their success, PALS has consistently demonstrated its commitment to a diverse legal profession of the future.
To support our ongoing efforts, we need your help. Today, we are launching our first direct appeal for support from our friends, colleagues and from the many alumni who have benefited from the PALS programming in the past. This fundraising campaign—aptly titled Rising Tide—is premised on the belief that together we can change the face of the legal profession.
When asked what sets us apart from other organizations striving to increase diversity in our industry, PALS participants overwhelmingly point to our strong community. This community of mentors and alumni is found in every segment of the legal profession—from private practice at firms of all sizes and specialties, legal academia, government service (including state and federal prosecutors, public defenders, and judges), non-profit organizations, in-house, and legal practitioners in non-traditional fields. Our community sets us apart and, through this Rising Tide campaign, our community can help us continue to offer much-needed programming and mentorship to law students and newly practicing attorneys.
Our fundraising goal for this year ’s Rising Tide campaign is $15,000. The campaign launches Tuesday, November 5th and will run through Tuesday, December 3rd. It will take gifts of all sizes for us to reach our goal. Know that whatever you give, it can and will make a difference for this important mission.
