The legal profession, while striving for justice, still faces significant challenges regarding diversity and inclusion, including pervasive workplace racism and discrimination.
This essential course, "Workplace Racism: Attorneys as Change Agents," equips legal professionals with the knowledge and tools to actively address bias and drive meaningful change within their organizations.
Delve into the complexities of discrimination, examining both overt and subtle forms, and understanding how they combine.

Learn about the innovative DNI+ framework, which expands traditional diversity and inclusion efforts to emphasize crucial workplace accommodation.
Master strategies to identify, challenge, and dismantle discriminatory practices. Develop the skills to enhance D&I policies, improve accommodation processes, foster inclusive leadership, implement effective education and training programs, and measure progress towards a more equitable workplace.
By the end of this course, you will be empowered to serve as a powerful change agent, contributing to the creation of a legal profession that is truly inclusive, just, and representative of the society it serves.
