Don’t miss the New Jersey State Bar Association’s Diversity Summit on Jan. 25, a must-attend educational event that will undertake a comprehensive examination of the future the legal profession and the law through the lens of equity, inclusion and accessibility.
This year’s summit will tackle questions that arose in the aftermath of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on affirmative action in higher education as well as the nationwide backlash against DEI initiatives: Will the future of DEI be a repeat of the past? As the profession contemplates the impact that technology and the multigenerational workplaces will have on the practice of law, how will the quest to correct historical and systemic inequities rebound? Will age-old injustices simply replicate in new contexts, or is there an opportunity for real breakthrough?
A live webcast option is available; the in-person program will be held at the New Jersey Law Center in New Brunswick and include breakfast, lunch and a post-event networking reception.
The program is co-sponsored by: Asian Pacific American Lawyers Association of New Jersey, Garden State Bar Association, Association of Black Women Lawyers, Hispanic Bar Association of New Jersey, New Jersey Muslim Lawyers Association, New Jersey Women Lawyers Association, South Asian Bar Association of New Jersey, as well as the NJSBA Minorities in the Profession, Labor & Employment Law, LGBTQ Rights and Women in the Profession sections and the NJSBA Young Lawyers Division.
