Hilda Frimpong becomes 1st Black student to lead Syracuse Law Review

The Daily Orange reports..

Hilda Frimpong will become the first Black student to serve as editor-in-chief of the Syracuse Law Review.

Frimpong, a second-year law student at Syracuse University, will assume the position for the 2021-22 academic year alongside a majority-female editorial board. She hopes that her team will offer a fresh perspective at the publication, which provides a forum for legal research and writing.

“Naturally our background and life experiences shape how we approach issues, whether we are cognizant of it or not,” Frimpong said. “I plan to approach this position by being my authentic self, and that authentic self has many layers.”

Frimpong hopes to uphold the review’s status as a credible legal source for practicing attorneys and academics and foster inclusivity within the organization.
