Even as the number of minority law students increases, diverse lawyers remain
underrepresented at the forefront. Journey to Esquire® aims to shift the status quo by assisting
more diverse lawyers in getting into positions with a clear pathway to influential professional
positions. We help diverse law students identify the most prevalent hurdles to achievement,
such as a lack of mentorship or constructive feedback, and provide them with tools and
resources needed to tackle these issues and thrive in the practice of law.
