Pledging Action: Lawyer Leaders Commit to a More Inclusive Profession
July/August 2023, The Practice
Founded in 2009, the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD) spent its first decade building an array of talent development programs that helped set a high bar for the legal industry. Then in 2020 LCLD launched the Leaders at the Front initiative, challenging each of their 400-plus members—powerful law firm partners and leading general counsel—to make a public pledge detailing their commitment to building a more inclusive and diverse legal profession. Today members of LCLD are making good on those pledges.
