Description:
We are excited to invite lawyers, managing partners, DEI professionals, educators, students, corporations, bar associations and more to the first annual Power the Pipeline Conference. In short, we want to bring together ALL stakeholders invested in creating an equitable and inclusive legal profession. Pipeline programs create meaningful opportunities for students who do not have traditional access to the legal profession to gain experience and build their skills toward a career in law. This in-person day-long event is your chance to gain invaluable insights from industry experts on establishing pipeline programs, forging connections with pipeline partners, and making a resolute commitment to the pipeline.
The Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging is proud to announce our distinguished guests of the Power the Pipeline Conference:
2023 Diversity & Inclusion Champion:
Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, for their longstanding commitment and unwavering dedication to promoting diversity and extending opportunities to underserved communities within the legal profession's talent pipeline through their partnership with Washington Irving, a public school in New York City.
2023 Firestarter Awardee:
Aliza Shatzman, founder of The Legal Accountability Project a nonprofit aimed at extending support and resources to law clerks to ensure that they have a positive clerkship experience, this award honors individuals who have shown remarkable dedication and innovation in DEIB, sparking change, fostering belonging, and challenging norms in the Legal Profession
Event Highlights:
- Learning from the Best: Engage in enlightening discussions with industry experts who will share their experiences and best practices, empowering you to drive positive change within your organization.
- Networking Opportunities: Connect with like-minded professionals, firms, law schools, NYC public schools, and organizations and professionals that are ready to dive into pipeline work. Make meaningful connections and expand your network.
- Supporting and investing in NYC Public Education & Pipeline Programs: We have set aside dedicated time during the conference for schools and pipeline programs to engage with firms, law schools, and organizations actively involved in pipeline initiatives or who want or need to get involved in pipeline initiatives, during the fair portion of the day. Schools and pipeline programs can sign up for a table at no cost! However, space is limited so sign-up early to claim your spot (a waitlist will be created in the event we run out of tables/space). We will provide participants with guidance in developing materials to share with stakeholders and putting your organization on the map.
