PLEDGE Program
Cooley Law School hosted a cohort of the AccessLex Institute’s PLEDGE Fellowship Program in May for an in-person working session focused on transforming academic legal scholarship into public-facing writing. Launched in 2022, the PLEDGE Fellowship Program is a partnership between the AccessLex Institute and the Southern Education Foundation to help foster diverse, equitable, and inclusive learning environments within law schools. Pictured standing (l-r): Matt Beverlin of Loyola University Maryland, Marybeth Gasman of Rutgers-New Brunswick Graduate School of Education, Aaron Taylor of AccessLex Institute Center for Legal Education Excellence, and Douglas Harris of Loyola University Maryland.
