The Academy involves a comprehensive six-month training program whose mission is to develop the leadership skills of attorneys in their early years of practice; empower those attorneys to use their leadership skills to make greater contributions to the Louisville community and the legal profession; encourage diversity in the practice of law and building of relationships among attorneys of diverse backgrounds; and, model and practice the highest standards of the legal profession.

The Academy not only empowers individuals, but also inspires others to celebrate what’s right in the community and further develop the strengths of our city.
