TBA Diversity Leadership Institute (DLI)

The Tennessee Bar Association Young Lawyers Division’s Diversity Leadership Institute (DLI) is a six-month leadership and mentoring program for Tennessee law students in their second, third or fourth years of study. The program is designed to:

• Develop skills to succeed as a law student and attorney;
• Empower students to contribute more to the legal community;
• Match students to mentors in a diverse variety of practice areas; and
• Build relationships among students of diverse backgrounds

Class size is limited to a total of 20-25 students selected from across the state. The goal of the program is to have a diverse class, so selection is based in part on race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, background, geographical factors and law schools attended.

Deadline to apply is November 18, 2022
