If you apply yourself diligently to your studies and perform reasonably well, you will not require a quota or other non-merit-based program to be successful.
 
Good luck with your career!

        Hi everybody,
        
        I'm a library student who aspires to be a law librarian. After working in several law firms as a library assistant and learning about diversity programs, I wonder if these diversity programs would apply to any other minorities besides the "officially designated" ones. My native language is Russian, and I would like to connect to other Russian-speaking law librarians who work in the U.S. law firms to find out how they entered the profession and whether they had any specific difficulties because of their background. I would appreciate and welcome all your responses.
        Thanks!
        
        Best regards,
        Tatiana
