New Jersey State Bar Association’s Post

As the Supreme Court concludes its term, the importance of varied perspectives in our highest courts is more evident than ever. The decisions made in our courts impact everyone, and to ensure justice is truly served, it’s vital that the arguments presented reflect a wide range of experiences. Exposing all law students to appellate law and facilitating interactions with appellate judges, clerks, and practicing attorneys is crucial for fostering a judiciary representing all Americans. Today, we’re sharing a powerful testimonial from two of our mentees who attended a recent courthouse visit and engaged with the judges and clerks. This experience was transformative, highlighting the importance of accessibility and broad representation in the legal profession. Your support can help us provide more students with these invaluable opportunities: 👉 👉 👉 https://lnkd.in/ddAdMJC Together, we can nurture a new generation of lawyers and judges who truly represent and serve all Americans. #AppellateLinkedIn #representationmatters

I'm grateful for the Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office for allowing their clerks the opportunity to be in court and gain valuable experience before graduating from law school. #lawschool #studentpracticerule #jurytrial
