TotalLAW Prep Mentorship Program
The Cyrus R. Vance Center for International Justice contributed guidance and networking support to the TotalLAW Prep Program, a collaborative effort engaging law firms, bar associations, law schools, and pro bono clearinghouses to increase diversity and inclusion in the legal profession across the Americas.
TotalLaw Prep is designed to create a broad and ethnically diverse leadership pipeline of highly talented Afro-Descendant and Indigenous (ADI) lawyers. The program selects candidates among ADI law school students or recent graduates from countries in Latin America including Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama and Perú. The program provides candidates with 18 months of personalized guidance and support, focused on applying to an LLM program in the United States or Europe and afterwards pursuing career opportunities through an international law firm’s international associate program.
