Diversity

The Office for Diversity was created in 2004 to work with New York City legal employers to foster more diverse and inclusive work environments. Over 120 law firms and corporations have signed on to the Association's Statement of Diversity Principles, which represents a strong commitment to establish and attain diversity goals. The Statement defines diversity as an inclusive concept, encompassing race, color, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, religion, nationality, age, and marital and parental status. The Office for Diversity annually tracks the progress of signatory law firms and law departments on key diversity representation metrics.
