How Diversity Impacts Daily Operations of A Law Firm
From less than subtle political repute in recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions, to headlines of lawsuits and slashed diversity efforts, corporate diversity efforts are being called into question by many actors. Oftentimes, claims of the potential illegality of these efforts are raised. Are corporate diversity efforts really discriminatory and how are they impacting the daily operations of business?
