The Women Lawyers Association of Michigan (WLAM) has launched the WLAM Leadership Class to further its mission of securing the rights of women in society and advancing the interests of women in the legal profession and the administration of justice.
The WLAM Leadership Class is open to female law school students currently enrolled in an accredited Michigan law school.
Students accepted into the program will participate in virtual leadership classes including mentoring and networking development with experienced women lawyers and judges from a diverse background of the law.
In addition to the class participation, selected students will also work on a community service project.
“There are many future qualified women in law school equipped to be strong students and we want ensure they are strong advocates when they leave law school,” said Roquia Draper, WLAM president. “We, as experienced professionals, have all stood in each young women’s shoes and not one of us has done it without a mentorship or sponsorship.”
In 2020, the American Bar Association reports that women make up more than half of all law school enrollment at 54 percent.
“This program is a professional scholarship to provide the skills necessary to thrive in the legal profession”. Draper said. “It will strengthen the foundation of the women’s shoulders we have all stood on to get to where we are today and continue to assist women in obtaining equity for the future of our profession.”
Any female law student interested in the Leadership Class can apply by going to www.womenlawyers.org/wlam-leadership-class.
