At BSKB, we are committed to fostering an inclusive legal community. Our latest article by Dr. MaryAnne Armstrong, "’Hear my story’ – Giving voice to first-generation lawyers and clerks" highlights the unique challenges and strengths of new attorneys and law clerks from first-generation and limited-income (FGLI) backgrounds.
These individuals often face significant barriers in the legal field due to their unique experiences, which can impact their entry and inclusion in law schools and legal firms.
The article underscores the importance of empathetic mentorship and a deeper understanding of FGLI backgrounds. We encourage our colleagues in the legal industry to recognize the value of these diverse experiences and support the development of all emerging legal professionals.
