Events

2011 Santa Clara Law and Law Career Services Diversity Gala

Santa Clara Law is a leader in law school diversity: it is among the top ten most diverse law schools in the U.S. Our students and alumni founded the Diversity Gala in order to foster an atmosphere of inclusion for these young lawyers. The Diversity Gala is an opportunity to form relationships that develop into mentorships, to be assured by representatives from participating organizations that diversity is highly valued and to recognize the contributions that prominent members of the legal profession have made to further the interest of minority groups.
