This Course
Belonging is often the missing piece in many diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) initiatives. Yet, it is essential for creating fair and equitable legal workplaces that foster engagement, performance, well-being, and retention. In this course, attorneys will learn how to cultivate a culture of belonging, especially in the context of the global coronavirus pandemic and the historical and contemporary exclusion of marginalized populations. Attorneys will also learn why belonging may be a more effective goal than inclusion and what strategies and practices attorneys can use to promote belonging amongst colleagues and clients within the legal profession.
This course is suitable for lawyers, paralegals, and any member of the legal profession who want to enhance their DEIB skills and knowledge. Lawyers, paralegals, and any members of the legal profession from all levels would benefit from attending this program.

- Apply the concept of Belongingness in the realm of Diversity, Inclusion, and Elimination of Implicit Bias to the legal field
- Explain how attorneys can cultivate a culture of Belonging
