2012 DIVERSITY LEADERSHIP AWARD NOMINATIONS PROCESS IS NOW CLOSED

The Section understands the importance and intrinsic value of increasing diversity and ensuring equal opportunity in the legal profession.  It established the Diversity Leadership Award in 2008, sponsored by Navigant, the Litigation Advisory Services Sponsor of the ABA Section of Litigation. 

The Diversity Leadership Award recognizes those individuals or entities who have demonstrated a commitment to promoting full and equal participation in the legal profession through the encouragement and inclusion of women, minorities, persons with disabilities, and/or persons of differing sexual orientations and gender identities.

Learn more about the nomination and selection processes and read about past award recipients. 

The deadline for receipt of nomination forms and accompanying documentation is December 1, 2011.  If you have any questions about the award, please contact Sharyne Tu at 312-988-6069 or sharyne.tu@americanbar.org.

The Section of Litigation will present the 2012 Diversity Leadership Award during its Section Annual Conference, April 18-20, 2012 at the JW Marriott Washington in Washington, DC.
