I still remember the magical moment when we told so many of our students that 'next year is on us.' The Hurst Horizon Scholarship has been transformational within our community, and I'm so proud that Yale Law School is leading the way in changing how legal education is funded.

It’s JUDGE Nicole Berner now! 🥳
Congrats to Planned Parenthood alum, Nicole Berner, who has been confirmed to the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals! This is a critical step towards increasing diversity on the federal bench + ensuring that our courts will protect the rights of all.
BREAKING: Nicole Berner has been CONFIRMED to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
To achieve equal justice in America, we need fair-minded judges who will protect the rights of everyone! This confirmation is a critical step in the right direction. #ConfirmBerner

Experience matters. Representation matters.
Nicole Berner's dedication to workers' rights and legal expertise make her an invaluable addition to the federal bench.
That's why we're urging the Senate to support Nicole Berner's confirmation for the Fourth Circuit. #ConfirmBerner
Constance Baker Motley wrote the original complaint in Brown v. Board of Education. She was the first Black woman to argue before the Supreme Court and went on to win nine out of ten cases. #WomensHistoryMonth
