Vault/MCCA Guide to Law Firm Diversity Programs (2008 Edition)

By Vera Djordjevich
Over the past few years, most large U.S. law firms have devoted increasing resources to diversity initiatives as well as to the management and administration of these efforts. Nearly all have developed their own unique cultural approach and methods of administration.
This book was developed to provide law students and practicing lawyers with the essential objective information necessary to meaningfully evaluate these firms' diversity initiatives and programs.
The information contained within this guide will enable law students and mid-career lawyers to match their interests and career objectives with an appropriate firm, as well as enable corporate in-house counsel, as buyers of legal services, to shed light and make meaningful comparisons among the diversity efforts underway at the law firms with which they do business or are considering doing business.
When examining law firm diversity initiatives and comparing firms, you should look beyond raw numerical data, and assess the benchmarks of a supportive, diversity-focused environment:

Understands the business case for diversity
Receives the commitment of top management with established systems for measuring progress and accountability
Has an internal diversity council, which receives the administrative and financial support needed to spearhead sustainable progress
Its diversity efforts enjoy firmwide ownership and participation
Offers superior career developmental programs
