But no matter how far they go, they’re always a part of Chicago-Kent’s trial advocacy family.

Fall 2022: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Law

Diversity, equity, and inclusion law is more than just a specialty. In fact, DEI work branches into numerous legal fields, from labor and employment law to government work to public interest law, to name just a few. There is not a specific J.D. certificate for it, and yet—as you will see in the alumni profiles in this fall's Chicago-Kent Magazine—legal issues relating to DEI are growing both more frequent and more prevalent. And often, these issues garner national attention.
