The Diversity Legal Writing Program is a collaborative effort among the Maricopa County Bar Foundation, the State Bar of Arizona Council on Minorities and Women in the Law, the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law, the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law, and legal employers around the Valley.

This program is open to all 2L and 3L students in good standing, and aims to broaden learning opportunities for those who have overcome personal or systematic hardships or disadvantages, including those who self-identify with a group that is underrepresented in the legal profession. Each student applicant will provide a resume (without GPA or rank), a writing sample, and a one-page personal statement identifying connections between the applicant’s life experiences and the broader goal of advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the legal profession. Transcripts are not required.
