Please join the McLean County Bar Association in welcoming Julia Roundtree Livingston. This course explores how identifying bias and stereotypes can provide you with skills to be leaders in creating more inclusive legal workplaces. Lawyers are leaders in society and the workplace. As leaders, lawyers must ensure they create a workplace environment that is both productive and inclusive. There are many ways that attorneys work has shifted. Technology, the hybrid workplace, the emergence of AI, and law firm growth rates are just a few ways that the legal profession has changed over the past few decades.
While these changes are significant, the legal profession cannot lose sight of the changing landscape of diversity and inclusion. Diversity and inclusion are important to ensure quality work as well as equity inherent in the rule of law.
Learning Objectives
This program will be held on Tuesday, May 21, 2024 beginning at 12:00 p.m. at Second Presbyterian Church, Bloomington. Lunch will be served.
