3rd Annual Break Into Law Conference Aims to Empower Marginalized Law Students
Princeton, N.J. (March 20, 2024) - Barrier Breakers®, Inc. is thrilled to announce the return of the highly anticipated 3rd Annual Break Into Law Conference, a pioneering event dedicated to supporting first-generation and marginalized prospective and current law school students. This year's conference will be held virtually from June 21 - 23, 2024, offering unparalleled opportunities for empowerment, networking, and resources.
The Break Into Law Conference is open to law students at all parts of their journey, emphasizing first-generation or marginalized students, and providing free access to invaluable insights and guidance essential for navigating the legal profession. Featuring an array of distinguished speakers, panel discussions, and interactive workshops, this conference serves as a beacon of support for those traditionally underrepresented in the legal field.
Highlighting the program are two flagship events: the Law School & Resource Fair and the Career & Law Firm Fair. These fairs offer attendees the chance to connect directly with representatives from top law schools, legal organizations, and law firms, facilitating crucial networking opportunities and access to resources vital for success.
In recognition of its unwavering commitment to diversity and inclusion, last year's Break Into Law Conference was honored with the Best Diversity & Inclusion Event at the 2024 Eventeer Awards. Building upon this success, this year's conference boasts an entirely people of color panelist lineup, ensuring diverse perspectives and experiences are at the forefront of every discussion.
Sydney Montgomery, Executive Director & Founder of Barrier Breakers®, Inc., expressed her enthusiasm for the upcoming conference, stating: "The Break Into Law Conference is more than just an event; it's a platform for empowerment and equity within the legal profession. By providing access, representation, and support to marginalized law students, we are breaking down barriers and paving the way for a more inclusive future in law."
