In 2006, as part of the firm’s steadfast commitment to the advancement of diverse professionals within the legal community at large, we established the Blank Rome Pipeline Scholars Program (“Blank Rome Scholars” or “BR Scholars” Program) designed to identify and recruit individuals who have overcome challenges in life that distinguish them from their peers and who, through their life experiences, have demonstrated the character to have a successful career in law. Our goal is to identify and attract high-performing summer associate candidates from diverse backgrounds ultimately to join our firm upon completion of law school.
