Sutherland Scholars
Everyone talks diversity. Sutherland's doing something about it.
Sutherland Scholars, a firm initiative started in 2005, prepares minority pre-law students for the rigors of law school. To date, 116 have graduated from the summertime program held in Washington D.C. and Atlanta.
Managing Partner Mark Wasserman noted, "Sutherland Scholars is an innovative program and demonstrates our commitment to promoting diversity in our firm and in the legal community." He continued to say, "One in four law students are members of minority groups and only one in 20 partners at large law firms is from a minority group. It's a serious issue, and true to our firm's tradition and values, we are taking the lead in finding real solutions."
