CLE: Unpacking Privilege in the Legal Profession - Pathways to Equity and Inclusion
Please join us for a very timely CLE on privilege with Simone Tubman, the Assistant Vice President for Institutional Diversity, Equity Compliance, and Title VI at Providence College.
This discussion delves into the pervasive influence of privilege within the legal profession, examining how factors such as race, socioeconomic status, gender, and educational background coexist with diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice. Together, we will critically analyze the ways in which privilege shapes legal practice, from recruitment and career advancement to client representation, highlighting the systemic disparities faced by marginalized groups. Concluding with actionable strategies, the session outlines how legal professionals and organizations can address privilege, cultivate a more inclusive profession, and ensure equitable access to justice for future legal professionals.
