The event drew a diverse crowd of law students, judges, as well as attorneys from different practice areas and sectors. Through events and programming, AABA will continue to offer its members and the legal community a welcoming space for dialogue about diversity, inclusion, and success in the legal profession.

We encourage our members to read Portrait Project 2.0 (https://www.apaportraitproject.org/) and ask our members to contribute to the Project by participating in their latest research survey (https://lawcolumbia.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2s2oe6bfwjjKstg) that focuses on the experiences of lawyers of all backgrounds who have worked in law firms.
