Rochester, NY – Diversity Clerkship – Empire Justice Center
AkronLawJobs No. 6291 Overview: This program seeks to increase diversity in the legal profession in the Rochester area by attracting qualified second-year law students from historically under-represented groups, including racial and ethnic minorities or those who grew up in low income households, to work in a paid position with our organization.
