Description

Diversity and inclusion are bandied about, but our profession still lacks behind in equity and elimination of bias as to gender, race, ethnicity, LGBTQ , disability and other identifiers that have historically held people back. There has been a growing trend of bullying and harassment in the profession with junior lawyers, women and diverse lawyers bearing the brunt of overly aggressive conduct within legal organizations as well as among opposing counsel, and towards clients.

Join Francine Friedman Griesing as she tackles bullying and bias in the legal profession. Participants will learn steps legal leaders can take to combat inequity in the profession and promote fair opportunity for all.
