    Help Win the 2023 SOC Diversity Scholarship Contest

    From March 14 – July 14, each ABA section, division, and forum (SDF) can participate in the Section Officers Conference (SOC) Diversity Scholarship Contest by urging its members to contribute to the Scholarship Fund as individuals or with support from their firms/organizations. The SOC will award a prize for participation and another for funds raised. Contest winners will be announced at the 2023 ABA Annual Meeting. Please give so your SDF can demonstrate, in a meaningful way, its commitment to a diverse legal profession! Pictured left is Migueyli Aisha Duran, ABA Legal Opportunity Scholar (Class of 2022), J.D.
