The Law and Leadership Institute (\u201cLLI\u201d) was first launched by the Ohio Supreme Court as a program designed to increase minority enrollment in the state\u2019s law schools and ultimately increase the diversity of the legal profession.\u00a0 LLI reaches out to young students from disadvantaged backgrounds with a goal of providing them with the skills necessary to succeed in college, and should an interest in law continue, in law school.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As one aspect of the LLI program, in a few weeks participating Akron law firms are hosting approximately twenty 10th<\/sup> grade students for a four day \u201cinternship\u201d.\u00a0 This experience is designed to introduce the students to a law firm setting and lawyers, and generally encourage them about their ability to be lawyers one day.\u00a0 The students look forward to this experience \u2013 they have attended LLI classes on Saturdays throughout the year, working on grammar, writing and life skills \u2013 and the law firm internship is undoubtedly a highlight of the program!<\/p>\n

Participants in the internship are expected to dress appropriately for a law office setting.\u00a0 Many of the students, however, do not have appropriate attire and are very anxious about their situation.\u00a0 Most cannot afford to purchase clothing for the internship.\u00a0 Please help these promising young students to feel comfortable and welcomed by our legal community.<\/p>\n

Any contribution \u2013 clothing or cash no matter the size or amount \u2013 is most welcomed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
