Event Summary
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices in the legal profession affect the public’s perception of an equal and fair judicial system. However, even with existing DEI policies and programs within legal organizations, they are still generally perceived as falling behind other sectors.
Good DEI practices begin at an organizational level. Thus, law firms should set goals and continue to look for DEI investment opportunities, particularly in the leadership and management aspects.
Listen as a panel of distinguished professionals organized by The Knowledge Group provide the audience with a comprehensive discussion of the recent trends and developments surrounding DEI practices in the legal industry. Speakers, among other things, will offer practical strategies to address the challenges and issues in promoting equity in the legal profession.
Key topics include:
• The Importance of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in the Legal Industry
• Challenges and Opportunities of Promoting Equity in the Legal Profession
• Law Firm’s DEI Initiatives: Lessons Learned and Takeaways
• Best Practices to Improve DEI Policies and Programs
• What Lies Ahead
