Winston Invests in Diverse Law Students’ Success

Winston’s commitment to diversity and inclusion in the legal profession includes a variety of initiatives aimed at expanding the pipeline of diverse lawyers. Each year, our Hiring and Diversity & Inclusion Committees award scholarships for diverse first-year law students to attend the BARBRI Law Preview prep course.

We sponsored ten students entering the University of Chicago Law School to participate in this six-day, intensive program before their law school classes began on campus this fall. During the Law Preview prep course, students received coaching and practical academic strategies to help them embark on their first year of law school with confidence.

We were pleased to receive their positive feedback about this experience.

“Thank you for allowing me to get a jumpstart on my learning. I feel a greater sense of confidence going into my first year of law school at University of Chicago, and I’m very grateful to the firm for the support!”

“…I was able to learn strategies for exam preparation and legal writing that I expect will help me this year as I begin law school. I am confident I will be more prepared to tackle my first year at UChicago Law thanks to [Law Preview] and Winston & Strawn!” 

Winston values diversity and the importance of bringing varied perspectives, experiences, and talents to firm. Visit our Diversity & Inclusion page for more information.
