The Appellate Project

At TAP, we believe our highest courts should reflect all of our communities. Our mission is to foster emerging leaders as they build a more just and representative appellate field.

Since launching in 2019, TAP has supported over 600 law students through our award-winning programming, providing access to mentorship, clerkship support, skill-building opportunities, and networking pathways within the appellate bar. Our network includes thousands of Supreme Court and appellate judges, lawyers, and law clerks who make our work possible. Many of our alumni are already working in the appellate field, where they have a voice in the critical decisions that so often affect our communities.

We continue to support our alumni through each stage of their appellate careers, helping to position them for the bench and other influential legal roles. Learn more at www.theappellateproject.org.
