- MuBANY Mentorship Dinner on November 18th: Thank you to all who attended MuBANY’s Inaugural Mentorship Program Dinner at Al-Badawi, Brooklyn’s newest Palestinian restaurant! And a special thanks to Ayat Masoud, Esq. owner of Al-Badawi and a mentor in our program, for inviting MuBANY to her brand new restaurant. This program, evidenced by last night’s showing, demonstrates the critical role mentorship can play within our and many other underrepresented other underrepresented communities in the legal sector. We are deeply grateful to all the mentors who have taken time out of their busy schedules to give advice to their mentees. And we are also impressed by the many young lawyers and student mentees who have proactively made the most out of this program. While this program will conclude in December 2021, we hope to launch another round of the program in the near future. And we will rely on current participants’ feedback to ensure the next round is even better. Thank you again to Ayat, Al-Badawi, and all our mentorship program participants. You all are part of the MuBANY community!

MUBANY IS A RECIPIENT OF THE NEW YORK STATE BAR ASSOCIATION'S 2021 INNOVATION AWARD! |
|
MuBANY is honored to receive the New York State Bar Association 2021 Innovation Award for co-founding the Affinity Bar Collective, along with the Metropolitan Black Bar Association! The NYSBA Innovation Award recognizes bar associations for adapting to the needs of their members and the community at large by introducing innovative programs, ideas, and methodologies that benefit everyone involved. During the summer of 2020, MuBANY and the MBBA leadership recognized an opportunity for affinity bar associations in New York City to collaborate on programming for their respective members and communities who were most affected by COVID-19. The goal was not only to leverage resources, but to also cast a wide-net for essential programming targeted toward professional development for lawyers and law students of color; know your rights workshops for the community - particularly on COVID-19 impacted issues; and pro bono initiatives. Since inception, the Collective held a resume review workshop for young lawyers and law students of color in which there were over 70 student/attorney pairings, an interview preparation program for the same, and a Know Your Rights Workshop on tenant rights that has been viewed more than 400 times. The Collective also held a Fireside Chat with New York City’s Corporation Counsel, where Collective members could candidly engage with the Corporation Counsel. In total, this Collective has resulted in long-lasting collaboration among affinity bar associations and a true sense of community. We are grateful to have partnered with MBBA to create this Collective and to jointly receive this recognition from the NYSBA.
