Patrick by Mr. Jordan himself.
“For more than 50 years, CLEO has embraced diversity, equity, and inclusion in legal education and the profession,” stated Casandra Sneed Ogden, chief executive officer of CLEO. “Our work and our mission have been to ensure that we expand opportunities for underrepresented communities. But we couldn’t have done this work without the support of the individuals, law schools, and organizations who stand with us. We want to again honor and recognize a few of these important individuals and institutions this year.”
The CLEO EDGE Awards were created in celebration of the organization’s historic 50th Anniversary to shine a spotlight on individuals, law schools, and other legal entities in the following categories: Education; Diversity; and Greater Equality.
