The greatest reward for our equity, diversity, and inclusion efforts is knowing that we are making a difference.
While we do not measure our progress in equity, diversity, and inclusion by awards, the recognitions we receive from external organizations help to affirm that our efforts truly measure up and to communicate our message to the greater legal community.
