What's LAUNCH for Lawyers Allyship @ Work All About?
"Am I a good ally?" The person who can answer that isn't you. See, as lawyers skilled in advocacy and the pursuit of justice, many of think we are already good allies. But so much of allyship can be performative. Our real test is whether those with whom we are allying believe the same. Do they see your good intentions translating into active support in your legal workplace? Would they want you to become a better ally through your words and deeds? If so, how?
That's where LAUNCH for Lawyers Allyship @ Work enters. I'll share what it means to be an ally in today's legal workplace. I'll show you how to recognize your privileges and understand the power you have as an attorney to change systems for good. I'll cover the five rules needed to use that privilege and power. Finally, we'll end with real-life scenarios and an analysis framework to use to address systemic inequity in our profession.
This is the work of allyship.
