Workshop Descriptions

Workshop 1: What is Diversity?
The first class in the series lays the framework for understanding diversity in the legal profession—different dimensions of diversity; a historical perspective; why diversity is
important in any legal organization, including research findings on the benefits of diversity; and the state of diversity in the legal profession, including the latest statistics.

Workshop 2: Hidden Barriers & Inclusiveness
The second course in the series introduces participants to the new paradigm of “inclusiveness.” Participants learn about national research studies that document how deeply embedded hidden barriers in legal organizations operate to marginalize female and diverse attorneys. They also learn about unconscious bias “for” and “against” certain groups and how micro-inequities impact diverse and female attorneys. Attendees will be given tools to assess their organization’s proficiency in inclusiveness.
