Webinar
Program:
In this panel discussion, current law students and new
lawyers will discuss their experience and perspectives on challenges and needs
of diverse students, and what they expect from supervisors, future employers,
and the overall culture of law around diversity, equity, and inclusion
(DEI).
We will also have supervisors who have championed DEI support of
new lawyers share their perspective of what legal organizations should be preparing
for and doing to support the changing landscape of law student
demographics.
