What does the coE membership get me?

We get it. Money and time should not be wasted. That’s why we are intent on providing not only an exclusive community to be a part of but access to information, resources, mentorship, networking connections, social justice volunteer opportunities, job and scholarship listings, and exclusive invitations to COE networking events in your region.

During our inaugural year (MY2020), we held over 10 programming events that were specifically curated to address the needs and interests of our membership. We invite experts from the legal field and beyond to enhance our programs and further empower our members. Our exclusive programming has received no less than an average ranking of 4 of 5 per event.
