The Legacy Program

Only about 4% of federal law clerks are Black, and the percentage is even smaller for Black women. Black Women in Law (BWL) has developed a clerkship mentorship program to increase the percentage of Black female federal law clerks.

Our one-year mentorship program is designed to help Black women who aspire to clerk in federal courts break barriers.
