Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP is pleased to announce that the firm has awarded a 2020 Diversity Scholarship to law student Jessie Manzewitsch Pulero from the University of Houston Law Center.

As part of the firm’s ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion in the legal profession, Bradley’s diversity scholarship promotes the education of law students who reflect the diversity of the legal marketplace and who are traditionally underrepresented in the legal profession. Each scholarship includes a summer clerkship. Ms. Manzewitsch Pulero will clerk in Bradley’s Houston office.

“We are very pleased to welcome Jessie to Bradley this summer as one of our diversity scholarship recipients,” said Bradley’s Director of Inclusion and Diversity George Medlock. “It’s clear that she is an outstanding law student who shares the firm’s strong commitment to diversity and inclusion in the workplace.”

As a student at the University of Houston Law Center, Ms. Manzewitsch Pulero ranks in the top 10 of more than 200 students in her program and received the LEX Award for achieving the highest grade in Lawyering Skills and Strategies. Ms. Smith earned a Bachelor of Law degree from Universidad Católica de Argentina in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and interned at the Nicholson & Cano Law Firm.

Bradley is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive workforce and culture at the firm and engages in significant efforts in this regard. The firm’s efforts include hosting a summer intern program for minority college students and regularly organizing, hosting and participating in programs, seminars and panels aimed at increasing the participation of women and minorities in the legal profession.
