Implementation of The JD Project requires partnerships with a consortium consisting of law schools, law firms, corporations, public interest employers, judges, law schools, colleges and universities, professors, attorneys and other individuals. Consortium members are committed to assuring a diverse legal profession. They assist in recruiting, mentoring, and supporting underrepresented minorities’ intent on entering the legal profession including financial support. Consortium members have access to underrepresented minority students who perform well in law school, who have excellent writing skills, and who are coached for success. Consortium members, through the financial and significant in-kind support of the project, are taking concrete and effective action to promote racial/ethnic diversity in the legal profession.
