The Black Agenda

09/09/2024

People of color make up 19% of the legal profession. Brothers in Law, Inc. (BiL) is working to change that and needs your help. The mission of BiL is to diversify the legal profession by providing underrepresented students a tangible pipeline into the profession through friendship, mentorship, professional development, community service, and scholarship.

BiL is seeking volunteers to work in National Leadership positions to execute on the mission of diversifying the legal profession. I volunteered in the beginning and serve as the Vice-Chair on the Board of Directors.

Interested persons only need to be able to give 1-2 hours a week to the cause. Apply using this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeDAS1cF-VA0V5a-KuFdpQ-dkvidKZFCFdHyPtMwTfCxfKY-Q/viewform

If you have questions, reach out to me or email the organization at [email protected]

Brothers in Law Inc. is a non-profit(501c3 status) student-run organization founded in Washington D.C. at Howard University School of Law.
