About

Mission

Our mission is to provide a Law pathway for underserved high school students interested in becoming a lawyer or serve in the legal profession.  We provide an immersive experience within a law firm or legal organization where students are partnered with a mentor and support.

Background

Our founders, Olivia Rios and Sheri McCurdy-Knox are both women of diverse backgrounds with careers in the legal industry. Both Olivia and Sheri have served on the Diversity Committee and Community Engagement Programs and contributed countless service hours to a variety of organizations. Ms. Rios has also volunteered as a translator for the Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation, the Georgia Asylum and Immigration Network and the Latin American Association. It is while serving in these capacities that our founders identified the lack of diversity for lawyers and began the first High School Internship Program at Morris, Manning & Martin LLP here in Atlanta.
