Tomorrow, October 24, 2024, is ABA Giving Day! We hope that you will support the ABA Afghan Legal Professionals Scholarship & Mentoring Pilot Program. Make a donation today: https://lnkd.in/ecvhxUVU The Program seeks to help rekindle the legal careers of Afghan judges, lawyers, and prosecutors who have resettled in the United States during or after August 2021. The Pilot Program has two top priorities, to provide: Preparatory Assistance Mentoring (PAM) services (without financial assistance) to those preparing to pursue an LLM degree or other law-related course of study and/or finding employment in the U.S. legal system in non-lawyer capacities; and Scholarship and Mentoring (SAM) services (with financial assistance in appropriate cases) to those who have obtained a full tuition scholarship and seek assistance with their LLM studies and bar exam preparation. The Pilot Program has secured and will continue to seek commitments of full tuition scholarships from ABA-accredited law schools throughout the U.S. To date, 23 law schools have agreed to provide full tuition scholarships to deserving candidates. These scholarships waive the cost of tuition and fees to attend LLM programs for foreign lawyers. SAM also seeks to provide stipends to help cover housing and living expenses for scholarship recipients who meet the program criteria. Charitable support from donors like you – individuals, law firms, corporations, and other organizations – makes these stipends possible. #givingday #afghanwomen #scholarship
