OBA Inclusive Leader Series PROGRAM | 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM (ET)

In recognition of the International Day of People with Disabilities, celebrated annually on December 3rd, join us to hear practical advice on how to request and/or offer accommodations in the boardroom and the courtroom. Learn about the accommodation tools and options that are available, and how to ensure you are taking appropriate steps when you, clients, colleagues or opposing counsel require accommodation.

Then explore how can we move beyond simply accommodating lawyers and other legal professionals to work towards a more inclusive legal profession. Whether you are a law firm leader, partner, associate or sole practitioner, hear from our insightful panel, with perspectives from those who have needed accommodations and their allies, as they share their own experiences and offer helpful recommendations for you to take away with you. Get valuable guidance to enable you to do your part in enhancing inclusion in the profession with this program.
