About the Davis Polk Leadership Initiative
The Davis Polk Leadership Initiative (DPLI) helps students become leaders in their careers and their lives. Through courses, fellowship and grant opportunities, programming, and coaching, DPLI enables students to exercise self-awareness, identify values and goals, tackle complex challenges, empower collaborative groups to achieve collective aims, and achieve meaningful impact in the public and private sectors. More information about how the Initiative defines leadership is available here.
About the Journal of Gender and Law
The Journal of Gender and Law (JGL) is edited and published entirely by students at the Columbia University School of Law. The Journal publishes interdisciplinary works rooted in feminist inquiry with the aim of promoting dialogue, debate, and awareness that will broaden the very concept of feminism as one that critically engages multiple and varied forms of social hierarchy and power differentials and their relation to the law.
