Biglaw Firm's Latest Racial Equality Work

Arent Fox's commitment to change.

In the initial aftermath of the murder of George Floyd, lots of Biglaw firms talked a good game about racial justice in this country. But now that a few months have gone by, we wonder, what have they actually done to work towards those lofty goals?

In the latest episode of The Jabot, I interview Arent Fox partner Eva J. Pulliam about the firm’s newly launched Center For Racial Equality. We chat about the creation of the Center and what motivated the firm to do so, what the firm’s role is in racial equality, and what are the goals of the center and the projects they’re initially focused on.

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.

Happy listening!
