“There are times when we, as individuals, are our own rate limiting factor because we think we need more training, more experience, more credentials, more something. While that is sometimes true, it is also often true that we doubt ourselves because we listen to a voice in our head that questions whether we are good enough.”

“Appellate fellowships commonly offer the opportunity to argue cases in state and/or federal court sometimes just a year or two removed from law school.”

TAP Founder & CEO Juvaria S. Khan appears on the Strict Scrutiny podcast.

TAP Founder & CEO Juvaria S. Khan talks with Teen Vogue about the makeup of appellate courts.

“As a matter of law and justice, anyone who has the interest and aptitude to succeed as an appellate advocate should have the chance to do so – regardless of their personal background or characteristics.”

“Your reputation is everything in this profession. You don’t build that overnight. It is the cumulative product of every interaction you have, every day, with everyone in the community, starting in law school!”

Juvaria Khan highlights how talented attorneys are excluded from appellate opportunities for the Washington Post.

“Fewer and fewer cases go to trial at all and even fewer are appealed after trial, which means appellate work is quite sparse in private practice. Government appeals, however, are steady and more positions are available to focus exclusively on appellate practice.”

“Diverse representation in the appellate bar is important to ensure that the varied experiences and viewpoints of our diverse communities are brought to light through the judicial process.”

Four TAP community members chat with Jonah Perlin on the How I Lawyer podcast.

“I dreamed of going to law school to learn how to best help solve the tangle of problems in my community that had been generations in the making, resulting in cultures from both within and without that required us to forfeit dignity, safety, and respect.”

“Virtually no effort is spent, in my view, educating law students about what it takes to become an appellate judge.”

The Washington Lawyer looks at the diversity of the federal appellate bench and lack diversity of among advocates on these courts.

“Representation heightens the public perception of fairness and improves decisionmaking by ensuring that diverse experiences are taken into account.”

“Go into law school without overly committing to your conception of the kind of lawyer you want to be. Having an open mind has been extremely helpful to me finding my passion.”

“Increasing exposure to the diversity of appellate careers in law school and beyond would ensure that our highest courts are representative of all our communities.”

“Appellate law in particular has tremendous potential to impact legal precedent.”
