As the state and country become more diverse, the need increases to develop leaders who possess diverse experiences, talents, and capacities for leadership. To meet this need, Colorado Law launched the Leaders in Law and Community (LILAC) Fellowship program in 2017 that addresses diversity in the broadest sense by recruiting and developing students from backgrounds underrepresented in law schools and in the legal profession. LILAC Fellows are from financially disadvantaged backgrounds, have diverse cultural identities, or are individuals who have overcome significant obstacles. With their experiences, backgrounds and accomplishments, LILAC Fellows will have the potential to use their law degrees to be transformational leaders in law and community.
