Susman Godfrey announced 25 recipients of the Susman Godfrey Prize, providing $5,000 to first- and second-year law students of color who show academic excellence and overall achievement. The prize, in its sixth year, is offered as DEI-focused scholarships and pipeline initiatives face increasing political and legal scrutiny. The firm continues to publicly support diversity efforts while other institutions and firms reduce visibility. Students are nominated by law school professors or administrators and are selected through a competitive review and interview process conducted by firm lawyers. Firm leaders describe the winners as demonstrating focus, creativity, and a relentless commitment to excellence, and they frame the prize as support for positive change in the civil trial profession.
""We look forward to seeing these aspiring lawyers' continued accomplishments in their legal careers, in the courtroom, and beyond." At a time when many legal institutions are carefully recalibrating how they talk about diversity efforts, Susman Godfrey is still willing to put its name - and money - behind them."
