Does your race, gender, national origin, a disability, socio-economic status or some other characteristic set you apart from others with whom you practice law, and make you feel marginalized by encounters with your peers from the majority?
The program will provide practical advice for lawyers on managing and overcoming common barriers to inclusion in the legal profession such as dual identity issues, feelings of isolation, and inadequate networks. Panelists, including attorneys at various stages of their legal careers and partners and from varied practice environments, and professional development and diversity professionals, will share practical career management wisdom to aid you in the taking charge of your career.
