The ABA is excited to announce its inaugural Equity Summit: Advancing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Legal Profession and Beyond.

This virtual nation-wide conference, held from September 27-30, 2021, will provide you up to 4.5 hours each day of interactive CLEs, Workshops, Ted-style Talks, a virtual networking component, and tour/presentation from the National Civil Rights Museum—all designed to educate you on best practices and facilitate a robust exchange of insights, concepts, and strategies on the key diversity, equity, and inclusion challenges and solutions in the legal profession.

Equity Summit registrants will also receive first access, until September 17, to register for an incredible September 29 program—A Conversation with U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor.  See Agenda for more information.

Equity Summit Goals:

• Convene and engage a broad cross section of solo, small firm, law firm, and government lawyers, judges, law students, legal employers, bar association leaders, diversity professionals, and other legal professionals nationwide on the most pressing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) challenges facing the legal profession.

• Educate and provide attendees with best practices and practical tools to address critical DEI issues personally and professionally, such as, interrupting implicit bias, COVID-19’s impact on DEI and the legal profession, DEI & Ethics, recruiting/retaining lawyers from diverse backgrounds, creating an inclusive workplace and practice, and leveraging their personal brand to build DEI and leadership.

• Provide attendees with opportunities to directly network and collaborate with lawyers and legal professionals from across the country.

• Make all the above available to attendees at an accessible price point e.g., $69 for ABA Members, $99 for Non-Members—with further discounted rates for Government/Public Interest attorneys and law students.
