KMMF is a non-profit organization with a mission to increase diversity in the legal profession. We believe that a strong mentor/mentee relationship is a proven pathway to assisting diverse and underrrepresented students excel in law school and become successful members of the legal community.

Our primary goal is to provide effective pathways to diversity in the legal profession by providing opportunities and support to diverse and underrepresented law students through our mentoring program, networking events, and our Summer Fellowship program.  The Foundation has been in the forefront of promoting awareness of the need to increase diversity and inclusion in the legal profession. We firmly believe that the legal profession should reflect the rich multicultural mix of our community.

OUR PATHWAYS TO DIVERSITY

MENTORING

We pair diverse students from Florida law schools with lawyer and judge mentors.  In addition to our own mentoring program, we also partner with voluntary bar programs to promote and support their mentoring programs.

NETWORKING EVENTS

We host networking events to expose diverse and underrepresented law students to lawyers and judges to jump start their professional networking skills and provide an opportunity to build relationships within the legal community before graduation from law school.

SUMMER FELLOWSHIP

We provide Summer Fellowships in the amount of $5000 each to diverse and underrepresented law students who have secured public interest internships and who demonstrate a strong academic record, financial need, and a commitment to diversity.
