What's LAUNCH for Law Students: Generation LEAD about?
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are necessary for success in the legal workplace. Understanding those concepts must start in law school. But understanding is only the beginning. The moment is here to take our transformed workplace and create a new paradigm for equity and justice. Are you ready to lead real change as a law student and future lawyer?
In this course, I'll discuss leadership and what it means to be a law student leader. I'll then explain the differences between diversity, inclusion, and equity, and the demographic data in legal workplaces that demonstrate the hurdles to change.
Next, I'll help you understand how unconscious bias and its attendant challenges - microaggressions, stereotypes, and the idea that we don't see race or color - play in interrupting our journey to inclusion.

I'll then share ten rules you can follow to interrupt bias and make equity and inclusion a reality for everyone.
Finally, I'll explain how every law student and future attorney can design spaces of authenticity and belonging, where everyone is welcome to rise, thrive, and succeed.
