After a turbulent year that put racial justice issues front and center, how much progress has the legal profession seen in diversity, equity and inclusion? According to a Twitter chat panel that convened on the anniversary of George Floyd’s murder, the DEI needle still has a lot of moving to do.
The chat, co-hosted by Law.com and GlobeSt.com, was titled ”Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Where Are We One Year Later?” The panel for the Law.com side of the chat included Loreal Arscott, principal owner at L.A. Law Firm P.A.; Narges Kakalia, director of diversity, equity and inclusion at Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo; and Dominique B.E. Ward, ERISA counsel at Lincoln Financial Group.
