Hinckley Allen, who has been a member firm of the USLAW NETWORK since 2009, is pleased to share that the USLAW Network Foundation has awarded scholarships to 12 deserving law students as part of the 2024 USLAW NETWORK Foundation Law School Diversity Scholarship program.
USLAW NETWORK (USLAW), an international organization composed of more than 60 independent, full-service firms with a focus on civil litigation, including more than 6,000 attorneys across the U.S., Canada, Latin America, and Asia, and with affiliations in Africa and with TELFA in Europe. These affiliations allow USLAW members, like Hinckley Allen, to better serve their clients in commercial and business law, employment and labor law, litigation, and other business- related areas of law in areas outside their geographic footprint.
In 2023, the USLAW NETWORK launched the Foundation Partners Program, offering individuals, corporations, and foundations the chance to establish personalized scholarship funds that align with their own philanthropic goals. Through a multiyear commitment, donors have the flexibility to allocate funds to support any eligible scholarship recipient or specify criteria or preferences, such as awarding the scholarship to a deserving student from a designated university. Hinckley Allen joined as one of the first member firms.
The integration of USLAW NETWORK Foundation Partners will bring a wealth of additional resources, expertise, and networks to USLAW’s scholarship program. This collaboration will empower and support gifted individuals who may face financial barriers in their educational pursuits.
Also in 2023, Noble F. Allen, Partner and Chair of the DEI Committee, was re-appointed as Chair of USLAW NETWORK Diversity Council. He is also a Board Member of the USLAW Foundation. “The Foundation Partners’ support to fund scholarships for law students who excel in the classroom and their community strengthens our collaborative efforts to support DEI initiatives and the next generation of legal leaders,” said Allen.
“Our USLAW NETWORK Foundation Law School Diversity Scholarship program supports today’s law school students who are forging a path towards academic and legal pursuits, while also promoting community service and social justice within their respective communities,” said Allen. “We are proud to support these exceptional students with financial assistance and networking opportunities that will help them with their academic dreams and future career paths.”
Of the 12 distinguished recipients, Hinckley Allen is proud to support Karen Yao who attends Boston University School of Law.
