P.A.D. Member Ronak Patel Selected to 1L Diversity Summer Program

Wilentz, Goldman & Spitzer, P.A. today announced the launch of a 1L Diversity Summer Program. This new program offers an opportunity for qualifying diverse law students, first-generation college graduates attending law school, and law students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds to experience working at a major New Jersey law firm. On June 1, the firm welcomed the inaugural cohort of three students.

Each 1L student will participate in an immersive program, learn about the law, work on a wide range of matters with lawyers at every level, and gain hands-on, real-world experience during the 8-week program. With both shareholder and associate mentors, participants will have the guidance and support needed to learn and grow.

The 2021 class participants, Matthew Jackson, Anthony Llaverias, and Ronak Patel, were recruited from Seton Hall University School of Law and Rutgers Law School in Newark.
