Success that Can be Measured!

Each Spring, MTO associate Misty Sanford spearheads one of the most popular and successful pipeline initiatives at our firm - The Law School Admissions Workshop.  MTO has partnered with For People of Color, Inc. to host an annual workshop devoted to empowering people of color who desire to enter the legal profession.  Our lawyers share their insights into the law school application process as well as their own experiences as law school students.  Past student attendees at FPOC workshops have continued on to attend some of the nation’s best law schools and have become associates at major law firms.
