Problem
The Appellate Project empowers law students of color to thrive in the appellate field by pairing them with mentors in their network. They were manually reviewing hundreds of applicants for their mentorship program, consuming a significant amount of time for their small team. In order to support their growing programs, they needed a solution to streamline and automate parts of this process.
Solution
Prometheus paired The Appellate Project with a data analyst who migrated the workflows and data for these programs to Airtable, allowing the organization to match mentees quicker and more effectively. The talent built custom web-based forms for mentor and mentee applications and created automated pairing recommendations using Javascript to match mentees to appropriate mentors. They also created email notifications to give applicants status updates automatically.
