#DiplomaPrivilegeNow – Sign Onto Public Rights Project’s Open Letter!

Justice Catalyst Law just signed on to an open letter led by Public Rights Project from public interest legal organizations supporting diploma privilege and invites you to do the same. We felt it was important to support law school graduates pursuing a career in the public interest, especially during this pandemic. The letter discusses the public health harms caused by in-person exams, the disparate impact of in-person and online exams on students of color, lower-income students, and disabled students, and the great need for licensed lawyers to serve the public.

If your organization would like to sign this letter, please fill out this form by Friday, August 14 at 5PM Pacific/8PM Eastern.

Public Rights Project intends to transmit the letter to relevant state bar examiners next week.
