About the Program
State and national diversity and inclusive initiatives are often focused on large law firms and corporations. Most attorneys, however, are employed by small law firms of fewer than 20 lawyers, with more than half of all lawyers employed as solo practitioners. National statistics reveal that the entire profession, across every sector, lacks in diversity. As we work to advance diversity and inclusion in the profession, are we missing the mark when we minimize the potential of solo and small law firms?
What is the case for diversity and inclusion within a solo or small law firm? How does a solo or small firm leverage its resources to achieve meaningful diversity and inclusion success? How can the CBA and other organizations advancing diversity and inclusion better support solo and small law firms in their efforts?
