I completely agree! I was pleasantly surprised by how diverse Kennedys was. On my AC most candidates were black or other ethnic minorities, the trainees we met were diverse. Their senior positions are also filled with a diverse bunch, and same with GR, it is so good to see. I encourage anyone...
Personally, I think it would be interesting to see how law firms are tackling micro-aggressions in the workplace. I have been faced with some racist and discriminatory comments (both do with my race and gender) but never felt I could report these small comments because they ‘were just said in a...
With all due respect, there must be a reason that black people, other POC, and anyone else from diverse backgrounds are not applying to these types of firms. It is not something that everyone can understand if they have not personally experienced it. Perhaps it might be that they create a...
In my opinion, not at all! I am also personally put off if there are very little or no black people/POC (especially in senior positions), even more so if they advocate that they are diverse and inclusive.

Hi, if you don't mind me adding to this thread, the TW application also asks:
