Lead inclusively while keeping your advice grounded in the law.

This course equips legal professionals to approach diversity, equity and inclusion through an employment-law lens. You'll learn bias awareness and the difference between what is socially acceptable and what is legally required, then work through the legal framework behind discrimination claims, the role of intent, and why treating everyone the same is the core of claim avoidance. Practical guidance covers the central tension between the law's call for uniformity and DEI's focus on protected-class status, and how to help clients pursue DEI goals within existing law while keeping risk and defense costs in check.
