A start: 1. Is your exec cttee half women? 2. Do your new hires reflect diversity? 3. Measure your retention rates for women/diverse vs men. Most of the necessary progress doesn’t require ‘incubation ‘, it requires action. @RyersonLIZ

An identical post earlier today had a typo in the phone number (sorry - my fault!). That post has been deleted in case you wondered where it went. The correct toll free number for the DHC is in fact 1-877-790-2200 as listed in the post above.

The articling system has left generations of students vulnerable to harassment, discrimination and abuse. It's time to abolish articling altogether. https://t.co/JklQ10Gyh3

[Isfahan Merali @IsfahanMerali]

This is the very sad reality for many NCA and internationally trained lawyers that I meet and mentor. The challenges are particularly pronounced if the person is racialized, a woman or has any other intersectional identity. We need to do better. I know together we can change this

[Breanna Needham @Breanna_Needham]

On why lawyers have difficulty embracing #diversity mandates & #inclusion:

“Lawyers often believe that, because of their legal education, they are “objective and fair”.....They falsely think they are immune from holding prejudicial views.”
