The Miami-based law firm Kluger, Kaplan, Silverman, Katzen & Levine has launched its second annual H.T. Smith Legal Studies Scholarship.
Named after Professor Smith , the $10,000 scholarship -- and summer clerkship at the firm -- are intended to create a more diverse workforce by supporting minority law students who demonstrate a strong connection to the South Florida community.
FIU 2L Briana Harris (’24) was the inaugural scholarship recipient and joins the firm as a summer associate this year.
