About Us
Law Clerks for Diversity is a simple but powerful idea that rests on two premises: (1) everybody who “makes it” has help, and (2) our profession, legal system, and country are better when representative of varied backgrounds, cultures, and experiences. A wider array of experiences and perspectives from people from all walks of life adds immense value to the judicial decision-making process.
