Dear student:<\/span><\/p>\n

This email serves as an invitation for you to participate in a focus-group interview study.\u00a0 The purpose of the research study is to examine the academic, social, and organizational experience of law school students and identify factors that will improve diversity and equal opportunity for women and minorities in legal education and the profession. \u00a0In order to complete this study we will be gathering information through focus groups administered to volunteering students enrolled in the JD programs at the Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law at the University of Memphis. The focus groups will require approximately 60-90 minutes of your time.\u00a0 Participants will receive a $40 gift card as a token of appreciation for their time and input at the end of the focus group interview. This is not an experimental study as participants\u00a0are not involved any form of treatment or intervention. <\/span><\/p>\n

Your participation is completely voluntary and you reserve the right to withdraw from the study at any time following your agreement to participate. All focus group interviews will be recorded with a digital audio recorder.\u00a0 All data gathered in the study are considered confidential material and will be kept on a password protected computer in the PI\u2019s office at the University of Memphis.\u00a0\u00a0 We will not be gathering identifying data, such as students\u2019 name, birthdate, and U number for research use.\u00a0 As such, the data we collect will not provide a link to the participants\u2019 identity.\u00a0 Please be aware that we cannot guarantee confidentiality in focus groups as the participants cannot be required to keep the discussion information and other participant identities confidential.\u00a0 However we will urge participants to keep other participants\u2019 identities private.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>If you who have been in the JD program for at least one year and are interested in taking part in this study, please contact Dr. Yonghong Jade Xu at the College of Education by email: <\/span>yxu@memphis.edu<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Thank you!<\/span><\/p>\n
