Fred Wilson will be a panelist for the "Diversity Lab: Tools for Increasing the Diversity in the Practice of Law at Firms and In-House Legal Departments" session at EEI's Fall Legal Conference in Cary, October 12-14, 2022.
Diversity Lab: Tools for Increasing the Diversity in the Practice of Law at Firms and In-House Legal Departments
Experts from Diversity Lab will discuss the Mansfield Rule, the earliest version of which required firms to measure and confirm that they considered candidate pools that were at least 30 percent diverse – including women and underrepresented racial and ethnic lawyers as a starting point – when hiring senior associates and partners, promoting into equity partnership, or selecting leaders for management roles. These experts will present data looking at early adopter progress toward increasing diversity in the practice of law. Along with EEI GCs who have implemented Diversity Lab programs, they will discuss how the Mansfield Rule can also work for in-house legal departments.
