Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity are not the Problem in Biglaw

from The Former Lawyer Podcast · host Sarah Cottrell

Is DEI really the problem in Biglaw? Sarah doesn’t think so, and she’s not alone. In this episode, she breaks down why blaming diversity, equity, and inclusion for the profession’s longstanding issues is not only inaccurate, but dangerously out of touch. If you’re tired of the gaslighting and performative change in legal spaces, this conversation will help you feel seen, and remind you that you’re not imagining the disconnect between what firms say and how they actually operate.See show notes at formerlawyer.com/266I'm closing enrollment for my self-paced group program, the Former Lawyer Collaborative, permanently on August 31st, 2026.
