Are you a law student who is passionate about improving diversity, equity, and inclusion in the legal profession? If so, then apply to become a Law Student Representative on the Washington State Bar Association’s Diversity Committee!
The WSBA’s Diversity Committee is dedicated to implementing WSBA’s Diversity and Inclusion Plan, and its work promotes historically underrepresented groups to enter and stay in the profession of law. The Committee does this through collaborative relationships and community building activities that highlight numerous societal benefits of a diverse law profession.
The Diversity Committee is seeking Law Student Representatives to help facilitate collaboration with the law student population in Washington State. The Law Student Representatives will work alongside Committee members in areas including: providing feedback and guidance to the content of educational and other programs; representing the committee at activities and events; joining subcommittees as needed; deepening their own understanding of diversity, inclusion and equity issues and WSBA positions and programming priorities; and acting as ambassadors to members and stakeholders for the committee.
Law Student Representatives will also be responsible for:
- Sharing information about Diversity Committee programs and resources with law schools and law students;
- Providing insight and brainstorming along with the Diversity Committee at regular Committee meetings;
- Assisting with any work delegated to them by the Diversity Committee as appropriate.
The commitment is about 4-5 hours per month.
If you are interested in being considered for a Law Student Representative position, please submit a resume and brief statement of interest (no more than 350 words) to dominiques@wsba.org by the end of the day on 10/18/2021.
