Professor Antoinette Coakley, assistant dean of Northeastern Law’s Bar Success Program, was recognized in March as one of the 57 Most Influential Black Attorneys in the Northeast by the Northeast Black Law Students Association (NEBLSA). She was nominated for the honor by Northeastern Law’s Black Law Students Association–Kemet Chapter. Four Northeastern Law graduates were also named to the list in recognition of their outstanding contributions to the legal field, advocacy and leadership.
“It is so humbling to be chosen by our students to receive this award and such an honor to be included in such impressive company,” said Coakley.
