Summary

"Over the past few years, most large U.S. law firms have devoted increasing resources to diversity initiatives as well as to the management and administration of these efforts. Nearly all have developed their own unique cultural approach and methods of administration." "This book was developed jointly by Vault and the Minority Corporate Counsel Association to provide law students and practicing lawyers with the essential objective information necessary to meaningfully evaluate these firms' diversity initiatives and programs." "This guide will enable students and mid-career lawyers to match their interests and career objectives with an appropriate firm, as well as enable corporate in-house counsel, as buyers of legal services, to shed light and make meaningful comparisons among the diversity efforts underway at the law firms with which they do business or are considering doing business." "The guide format presents the same information for all firms in a user-friendly way, addressing the degree to which several widely-recognized "best practices" are being incorporated into the firm's diversity program."--BOOK JACKET.
