As law firms throughout the country continue to work on making their firms more diverse, many in Connecticut believe the Nutmeg State is ahead of the curve.

For the third consecutive year, the Connecticut Bar Association will sponsor “Connecticut’s Diversity & Inclusion Summit.” This year’s event is scheduled from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Oct. 24 at the Quinnipiac University School of Law and is intended to focus on the success of the CBA’s five-year pledge plan, the importance of pipeline initiatives and out-of-the-box ways businesses and law firms in particular could be more diverse.
