ISSUES AND REGISTRATION
INFORMATION
A key perspective that this dynamic program focuses on, is
how crucial general counsel are to moving the needle
forward on diversity and inclusion. As buyers of legal
services, corporations and other types of clients have
the greatest impact in increasing diversity in the legal
profession. We are pleased to feature some of the na-
tion’s leading general counsel discussing these cutting
edge issues of diversity:
»» What tools will help corporate law departments and
law firms benchmark their diversity demographics
and programs transparently and consistently?
One of the panelist will unveil the new ABA
Model Diversity Survey that was developed by the
President’s Diversity & Inclusion 360 Commission.
This tool is designed to measure the effectiveness
of diversity and inclusion in corporations and law
firms.
»» How can corporations allocate their legal spend in
a way that benefits more diverse attorneys? The D&I
Commission submitted Resolution and Report #113
to the ABA House of Delegates for its approval in
August 2016. The resolution calls for a two-pronged
approach by urging law firms to focus on their
diversity and inclusion practices in a meaningful
way, and clients to use their purchasing power
to increase economic opportunities for diverse
attorneys.
You will not want to miss the lively discussion of these
critical issues with some of the most progressive and
outstanding general counsel and our interactive guests
in the audience.
