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
