Diversity, Equity & Inclusion:  Beyond Buzzwords - What They Mean & Why They Matter to Your Practice

Presented by Gabriel Sanchez, Special Project Director -LGBTQ+ Civil Rights Project

Diversity, equity, and inclusion have gotten increased attention in recent years but often get reduced to simple buzzwords.  Attorneys and legal professionals will find themselves working with diverse populations living at various intersections and in communities with complex histories and dynamics. Because of this, it is important to be mindful of how to approach working with diverse communities and intentional about how we include different experiences. This CLE will examine different elements of diversity (including race, gender, ability, ethnicity, language, orientation, and class) and how they can impact our work. This CLE will also provide an overview of ways to challenge ourselves to ensure our practices are more inclusive and accessible.
