Join the Affinity Bar Collective Resume Review and Exchange!
Getting advice on your resume can be frustrating. What works in law school doesn’t work
once you’ve graduated. Resumes for public interest vs in-house vs firm jobs are
different. The Affinity Bar Collective (“ABC”) is here to help!
Resume Review: Class of 2015-2020 and students from ABC participating
organizations can submit their resumes here by Oct 22.
Experienced Lawyers: We need YOUR HELP! Remember how frustrating it was to
get resume advice? Let’s help our young lawyers and students do better during their
job hunt and become better prepared for OCI this January. To volunteer, please fill out
the Resume Reviewer Google form by Oct 22.
What is the Affinity Bar Collective?
The Affinity Bar Collective is a collaborative group of affinity bar and judicial organizations
led by the Metropolitan Black Bar Association andthe Muslim Bar Association of New
York. The Collective aims to pool resources from its participating organizations to provide
its members and local communities with the information and support they greatly need. The
Collective aims to focus its efforts in a few key areas:
1. Professional Development programming for lawyers & law students of color
2. Know Your Rights Workshops for the community - particularly in COVID-19 impacted
issues
3. Pro Bono Initiatives
As a member of the Collective, MuBANY will feature events co-sponsored by or held by
members of the Affinity Bar Collective.
