Plunkett Cooney, one of the Midwest’s oldest law firms, will select three law school students who participate in its Laurel F. McGiffert Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) Essay Program to receive $2,500 diversity scholarships.
The program is open to all students currently enrolled in an accredited law school. Participants have until January 31 to submit their essays, which must address the following prompt:
Discuss a challenge or obstacle you have faced related to your background and explain how overcoming it has prepared you for a career in law. What lessons did you learn that will make you a more effective advocate and ally to those from underprivileged and underrepresented backgrounds.
The firm has created a Diversity & Inclusion Scholarship website to assist students with essay and personal information submissions. It can be accessed at https://plunkettcooney.isolvedhire.com/jobs/.
Questions can be directed to Jennifer Barczak at (248) 901-4084; jbarczak@plunkettcooney.com.
Since 2002, Plunkett Cooney has been among the law firms leading the DE&I discussion within the legal industry. The firm’s diversity, equity and inclusion scholarship program is a natural extension of its DE&I goals, which include attracting and retaining law school students from all backgrounds.
Plunkett Cooney’s DE&I Committee members work with the firm’s Director of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Audrey J. Forbush to coordinate related activities, which include a focus on recruitment, retention, training, mentoring and community involvement. Each year, Plunkett Cooney supports numerous affinity groups, community organizations and law school student organizations focused on advancing diversity and inclusion.
Plunkett Cooney employs approximately 120 attorneys in seven Michigan cities, Chicago, Indianapolis, and Columbus, Ohio.
The firm received Mansfield Rule Certification Plus for midsize law firms, which recognizes leaders in diversity, equity and inclusion within the legal industry.
