Latham & Watkins is once again
pleased to announce the Latham Diversity Scholars Program, which will award a
$10,000 non-renewable scholarship to each of six second-year law students.
Factors considered in choosing the Latham Diversity Scholars will include a
candidate’s:
1. Ability
and commitment to contribute to the diversity objectives of global law firms
2. Life
experiences that have shaped values and that provide a unique perspective,
including any obstacles or challenges faced in choosing or pursuing law as a
profession
3. Academic
and/or leadership achievements; Desire to practice in a global law firm
environment
This scholarship is not contingent
upon receiving or accepting an offer of employment at Latham. Rather, it is open
to all law students in the hope that greater diversity among the attorneys at
large law firms will benefit the entire profession. The Latham Diversity
Scholars Program, among other outreach efforts by Latham’s Diversity Hiring
Subcommittee, enhances Latham’s efforts to recruit and hire diverse summer
clerks and attorneys.
Students will be asked to submit an
application form, personal statement, resume and official or unofficial law
school transcript by September 27, 2013. Recipients will be announced in early
2014.
Applications can also be found online,
