Equity, Diversity and Inclusion for Lawyers with Disabilities in the Practice of Law
As lawyers, we have a proactive responsibility to promote EDI in our profession and beyond. Despite increased public and professional attention given to EDI topics in the past few years, many of us are still developing our skills in this area. There is still much we can learn to advocate for ourselves and others. Join our speakers as they share their personal experiences working as lawyers living with a disability and how their lived realities inform their practice. This exciting program is set to coincide with International Day of Persons with Disabilities on December 3rd, 2022
