Best Practices

Edwin Archer Randolph Diversity Awards

This award is named in memory of Edwin Archer Randolph, a Yale Law School graduate who was the first lawyer of color admitted to the Connecticut Bar in 1880. Through his service in various public offices, Mr. Randolph was instrumental in promoting the inclusion and advancement of lawyers and other professionals of color in Connecticut. In tribute to his legacy, this award honors an individual who promotes the inclusion and advancement of lawyers of color and other professionals.
