SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY & WEIL FOUNDATION: YEAR IN REVIEW 2025 CHARITABLE GIVING 15 14 In 2025, Weil sponsored the launch of Columbia Law School’s Judicial Clerkship Training Institute, a pioneering program recognized for its comprehensive and innovative approach to judicial clerkship preparation. The inaugural, one-day program, held in August 2025, convened more than 60 Columbia Law students and alumni preparing for clerkships across the country. The program offered hands-on preparation through workshops focused on judicial writing, chambers culture and judicial ethics. Judges, alumni clerks, faculty and practitioners contributed to panels that provided candid insights into the clerkship experience. Participants also engaged in discussions on post-clerkship opportunities in private practice, government service and academia.
