Allyship: What It Means to Be an Ally in the Legal Profession


This panel discusses what litigators can do to be better allies to their colleagues and peers in the practice area.

As the practice area grows more diverse, it is important to understand what we can do to retain and keep diverse talent in the practice of law. The panelists share how they have felt seen or understood by their peers.

They also explore ways in which individuals can serve as allies to racial minorities, queer, or disabled peers.
