How Biglaw Should Be Responding To The Black Lives Matter Protests
The work for racial justice never ends.
Folks who are on the frontlines of diversity and inclusion issues are doing a lot of work right now. Amid the nationwide racial reckoning going on right now, folks who’ve made a career trying to make our workplaces more diverse are still doing that work and dealing with their own trauma at the same time.
In this episode of the Jabot, I talk with Lia Dorsey, newly elected President of the Association of Law Firm Diversity Professionals and Director of Diversity and Inclusion at Dentons, about Biglaw’s response to the violent deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery and the Black Lives Matter movement.
The Jabot podcast is an offshoot of the Above the Law brand focused on the challenges women, people of color, LGBTQIA, and other diverse populations face in the legal industry. Our name comes from none other than the Notorious Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the jabot (decorative collar) she wears when delivering dissents from the bench. It’s a reminder that even when we aren’t winning, we’re still a powerful force to be reckoned with.
