with the Feinberg & Waller Mock Trial Leadership Award.

thinking, public speaking, and advocacy skills.
Championing Diversity and Leadership
The Feinberg & Waller Mock Trial Leadership Award is
designed to foster leadership among students from historically
underrepresented communities, including BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and
disabled individuals. This award seeks to amplify the voices of
those who often face barriers to advancement. Continuing our
tradition, the Feinberg & Waller Mock Trial Leadership Award
transforms the lives of young leaders, emphasizing our unwavering
commitment to diversity and leadership development. The goal is to
recognize and mentor students who have demonstrated exemplary
leadership both on their mock trial team and in their communities.
Preference is given to individuals actively involved in advocacy
for marginalized communities, making this award a key element in
Feinberg & Waller's ongoing efforts to advance racial equality
and social justice.
Mentorship from Experienced Legal Professionals
In addition to a financial award, Feinberg & Waller offers a
unique mentorship program for award recipients. This mentorship
provides access to legal experts, including Marshall Waller, a Certified Family Law
Specialist and partner at the firm, who has a long history of
involvement with mock trial teams. Awardees will receive
personalized coaching on law, courtroom etiquette, career
strategies, and networking. The firm will also help students
develop critical legal and professional skills, from resume
building to understanding the realities of practicing law.
"We see this award as more than just a recognition of talent;
it's an opportunity to equip these students with the tools they
need to become future leaders in the legal profession and beyond,"
says Marshall Waller. "Our goal is
to create a network of young leaders who are empowered to make a
difference, not only in the courtroom but in their communities as
well."
Creating a Legacy of Young Leaders
Each year, a new recipient will be welcomed into a growing
network of future legal leaders. This network is intended to foster
long-term relationships between students, their peers, and the
experienced attorneys at Feinberg & Waller. The mentorship will
continue beyond the award, ensuring that recipients have ongoing
support and guidance as they pursue their legal careers.
