The Diversity Law Institute Awards are presented annually in recognition of achievement by law firms that have practiced, advanced and/or promoted diversity and inclusion at the highest level. Award recipients are designated in advance of the Diversity Summit, the DLI's annual conference designed to address with candor the state of diversity within the legal profession and the court system generally. Diversity Summits have previously been held in Atlanta and Chicago.
Recognition of law firms for their diversity advancements and efforts is a significant function of the DLI. Members are encouraged to provide input in the DLI Award selection process. The Diversity Law Institute Award Committee may from time to time expand or amend the award process if in its determination the mission of recognizing successes for diversity would benefit from such changes.
The awards for 2017 were based upon a methodology that employed various components researched by third parties recognizing different aspects of diversity and inclusion. A limited number of award presentations will be made at the Diversity Law Institute Summit & Awards on November 3, 2017, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and hosted by the law firm of Duane Morris.
Methodology: For selection of the 2017 Law Firm Diversity Awards, a consensus of results from other methodologies was composed by using The 2017 Diversity Scorecard of The American Lawyer, The Top 100 Firms For Minority Lawyers of Law360, the Best Law Firms for Diversity of Vault.com and The NLJ 500 Women's Scorecard of The National Law Journal. Two or more selections among the four surveys/scorecards placed firms on the DLI's list of award recipients.
