Speaker, Essex County Bar Foundation, "Inclusion Matters - Tips and Strategies on Creating a Culture of Diversity and Inclusion in the Judiciary and the Legal Profession"

When it comes to diversity and inclusion in the judiciary and the legal profession, we are struggling. It’s a missed opportunity for everyone: diverse lawyers, judges and court administrators bring diverse opinions, diverse teams make better decisions, and a more diverse and equitable legal industry drives more innovative and creative solutions. The topic of diversity has been discussed at some level at firms for many years. But just creating policies and programs is not enough. Now more than ever, the legal community needs to step up as leaders and advisors on this issue. During this program our esteemed panel will discuss strategies and approaches to build a culture of diversity and inclusion in your organization.
