As an organization dedicated to mentoring law students of color and encouraging them to enter the appellate world, we understand how disheartening recent Supreme Court decisions and lower court challenges can be. One of our TAP mentors, Antonio L. Ingram II, Esq., Assistant Counsel for NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., shares where he draws hope: "In these challenging times, we draw hope from the Black National Anthem: 'God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who has brought us thus far on the way; Thou who has by Thy might, Led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray.' Yes, setbacks abound, and abject injustice seems ubiquitous. Yet, our testimony isn’t over. If we persist, we will behold the goodness of God." We believe in the power of perseverance and the strength of our collective resolve. We have faced immense challenges before and emerged stronger. Our journey is far from over, and our fight for justice continues. To our mentees and all aspiring lawyers of color: let us stand together, support one another, and keep pushing forward. We will overcome and build an appellate bar that looks more like America. #nextgen #SCOTUS #AppellateLinkedIn

Her proposal, titled The HBCU Effect: Examining Factors Related to First-Time Bar Passage for HBCU Law School Alumni, focuses on the effects that graduate institution type (HBCU vs. non-HBCU) has on bar passage rates. The findings may better inform and empower HBCUs and their collaborative partners (e.g., law schools, law firms, and other business/professional entities). https://lnkd.in/gFuSqauq

As any legal professional in family law can attest, the environment is rife with high-conflict people and situations — and the hostile communications that inevitably result. Thankfully, there are ways to adapt our own interactions and written communications with high-conflict people that accommodate their inability to solve problems in a normal way. One tried-and-true method is called BIFF (Brief Informative, Friendly, Firm). In this month’s Raising the Bar CLE, Bill Eddy, LCSW, CFLS, author, and co-founder of the High Conflict Institute, will empower legal professionals with a proven approach to ethically addressing challenging interactions in the legal profession. Through real-world examples, he’ll share his four-step BIFF method of writing careful and ethical communications that defuse hostility and get results.
