3L Dante Paul Awarded the John M. Langston Bar Association Scholarship

Congratulations to 3L Dante Paul on receiving the John M. Langston Bar Association Scholarship! He was one of nine students to be selected for this prestigious recognition. 

The scholarships were presented on Feb. 7th, 2020, at the John M. Langston Bar Association's 44th Annual Installation, Scholarship, and Awards Gala held at the Vibiana in downtown Los Angeles. 

The scholarship is awarded to outstanding and deserving law students of color based on financial need and merit. Dante was selected for his demonstrated passion for the law and his commitment to serving his community.

"I am truly grateful, thankful, and honored to be receiving this scholarship, and I hope to bring something unique to the legal profession—not just my social circumstances but also the unwavering and ambitious attitude that was given to me by my community. I hope to provoke challenging conversation and action on inequality while encapsulating the perspective of my blackness that is too often overlooked."

He is also an Intern at the Universal Music Publishing Music Group in the Business and Legal Affairs Office.
