CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - WisconsinEagle -- Lawyers of Color, a nonprofit devoted to promoting diversity in the legal profession and advancing democracy and equality in marginalized communities, has named Evangeline M. Mitchell, the founder of the National Black Pre-Law Conference and Law Fair, among their Top 10 Most Influential Black Lawyers of the Decade.
Evangeline was recognized for her work as a change agent for her groundbreaking legal education pipeline efforts. Throughout the years, she has effectively mobilized hundreds of speakers, presenters, panelists, advisors, and law school administrators to impact thousands of Black students and graduates interested in pursuing law school. She has led several successful national initiatives including producing major world-class, free national conferences, writing and publishing books and articles, curating and editing Black Pre-Law and HBCU Pre-Law informational websites, creating and managing networking social media groups and YouTube Channels, speaking to student groups, and creating a national mentorship program. Her primary mission has been to provide information, resources, and connections to prospective Black law students well before they apply to law school in order to make them more well-informed education consumers and to encourage them to be more excellent, strategic, competitive, and entrepreneurial to increase their chances for success. She believes that this work can help move the needle in increasing the representation of Black law students and lawyers.

Currently, she is producing audio and film documentary projects including Becoming Black Lawyers and The Black Lawyers Legacy Project.
"I am incredibly honored by Lawyers of Color's recognition and am extremely grateful to be included on this prestigious list of great Black lawyers. I am deeply invested and committed to serving aspiring Black lawyers and genuinely want to see them succeed. For me, this is serious heart and legacy work. It is a blessing to be recognized for work that you genuinely care about and where you know you are making a valuable contribution and impact. This is a team and community effort and I sincerely appreciate everyone who has supported us throughout the years. I look forward to continuing to do this important work for years to come."
