Students Taylor Greenberg and\u00a0Ashleigh Thornton were recently accepted for the Ms. JD Leadership Academy Class of 2017.\u00a0Applicants were chosen from a pool of law school candidates around the country based on their demonstrated commitment to elevating the standing of women in the legal profession.\u00a0A total of 45 law students were selected for the Leadership Academy.<\/p>\n

Greenberg and Thornton attended an intensive one-day National Women\u2019s Law Students Organization Leadership Academy workshop at Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on Sept. 23. \u00a0Attorneys, thought leaders, and professional development professionals presented at the workshop on the experiences of women in leadership roles and developing the professional skills to become and support women in leadership positions.<\/p>\n

“This was a unique opportunity to network with accomplished women law students from around the country,” said Greenberg. “I am proud to be a part of a group of women advancing ourselves in the field of law and working together to combat\u00a0injustices women face. This conference gave me the courage and inspiration to keep fighting for equality not just\u00a0for women in\u00a0the legal field, but for women everywhere.”<\/p>\n

“Ms. JD is an organization that proudly supports the professional growth and development of\u00a0women, and I am so grateful to have been a part of the Academy’s inaugural class,” said Thornton. “Being surrounded by\u00a0such\u00a0a diverse group of\u00a0leaders was\u00a0a truly\u00a0empowering\u00a0experience. We\u00a0had\u00a0the opportunity to both learn from and\u00a0network with a powerhouse of women —\u00a0women\u00a0who are inspiring change and\u00a0making their mark in the legal community.”<\/p>\n

The Ms. JD Leadership Academy served to create a national network of women\u2019s law association leaders empowered to lead their law student organizations, leveraging ideas and inspiration from their new connections with other law student leaders. The Leadership Academy class provided participants with tools to develop the professional skills to help them succeed and serve in leadership positions beyond law school.<\/p>\n

Greenberg is founding president of the Child Advocates of Stetson Law and a Guardian ad Litem, as well as\u00a0a legal extern at the L. David Shear Children’s Law Center of Bay Area Legal Services, Inc. Thornton is a member of the Trial Team, treasurer of the Student Bar Association, vice-president of the Child Advocates of Stetson Law, and a national member of the Black Law Students Association.<\/p>\n
