Morrison Foerster is proud to partner with PracticePro as a member of its newly formed Pre-Law Founding Circle that will award at least nine Pre-Law Diversity Scholarships to underrepresented college students and graduates seeking legal careers.
“Diversity has long been a core value of Morrison Foerster. We are dedicated to increasing the diversity within the legal talent pipeline both for our own firm’s benefit but also for the benefit of the legal profession as a whole. Given our ongoing commitment to doing just that, we are proud to be a member of PracticePro’s Founding Circle, a program focused on providing underrepresented students with guidance and financial support as they navigate the law school admissions process and prepare for legal careers,” said Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer Natalie Kernisant.
“MoFo has enjoyed a longstanding partnership with PracticePro and been a champion of itaLaw School Mastery for Incoming 1Ls and 1L Diversity Scholar programs. We have met outstanding summer associate candidates through PracticePro and look forward to connecting with more talent as members of the Pre-Law Founding Circle,” added Nicole Wanzer, Director of Attorney Recruiting.
PracticePro is an EdTech social enterprise. Through training, coaching, and scholarships, it strives to change the way new lawyers learn to practice law and make their transition to practice easier. PracticePro’s Founding Circle members have a long history of leadership in the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) space, including building PracticePro’s other two DEI programs. In addition to funding the Pre-Law Diversity Scholarships, the Founding Circle will play a pivotal role in mentoring scholars, identifying additional needs of pre-law students, and designing future programming to address those needs.
