Donate to the Richard D. Hailey Scholarship fund, which was established through a generous donation from AAJ’s first African-American President Richard D. Hailey and is named in his honor. It is awarded by the Minority Caucus, which is committed to supporting trial lawyers who are part of or support the minority community and lifting up attorneys from a broad range of backgrounds and experiences. The scholarship is a 5,000 award to a Law Student Member entering their first, second, or third year of law school (or fourth year in a night program) who best demonstrates a commitment to the mission of the Minority Caucus; a commitment to diversity, eliminating bias, and promoting equal opportunities and belonging for all lawyers; an interest and proficiency in trial advocacy skills, a commitment to represent those who have been injured by the negligence or misconduct of others or those who have been accused of a crime; , a commitment to AAJ's mission, access to justice, and to the constitutional right to trial by jury; and financial need.
Contributions to the scholarship fund may be tax deductible as a 501(c)(3) charitable contribution (consult your tax advisor).
