The Law Society Gazette reports that International firm Cooley hopes to replicate the success of its US efforts to promote greater diversity in the profession. The firm, which has an office in London, has set up a UK Diversity Fellowship programme, which will award up to £12,000 to assist with tuition and study expenses.
Applications, which must be received by 14 April 2021, are open to full-time university students who intend to study for qualification as a solicitor in England and Wales. In addition to being high academic achievers, successful applicants will demonstrate a commitment to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in their local communities or elsewhere.
