The deans from Michigan law schools attended The Michigan Diversity Council’s Legal Diversity Summit in Troy last month.
The summit, “Moving Beyond Intent: DE&I in Action,” offered attendees a look into best practices and facilitated a robust exchange of insights, concepts, and strategies on the legal profession’s key diversity, equity, and inclusion challenges and solutions.
Deans at the summit included James McGrath, president and dean, Western Michigan University Cooley Law School; Richard A. Bierschbach, dean and John W. Reed professor of law, Wayne State University Law School; Linda Sheryl Greene, dean and MSU Foundation professor of law, MSU College of Law; and Jelani Jefferson Exum, dean and Philip J. McElroy professor, University of Detroit Mercy School of Law.
The summit featured break-out sessions with applicable and practical information while also providing attendees greater opportunities to raise awareness of creating a sustainable organizational culture to support diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace internally and beyond.
Keynote speakers included Michigan Supreme Court Justice Elizabeth M. Welch and retired Michigan Court of Appeals Judge Cynthia D. Stephens.
The council’s mission is to inspire and provide individuals with takeaways that help enhance the development of broader, more equitable, and inclusive programs and policies within their respective organizations.
