GPSolo Diversity & Inclusion Plan

The Solo, Small Firm and General Practice Division of the American Bar Association is committed to diversity and inclusion within the Division and ABA. Diversity in our membership brings a variety of unique and valuable skills and perspectives to the Division. We recognize, however, that the Division cannot continue to achieve and maintain diversity in its membership without a demonstrated commitment to achieving diversity in its leadership ranks and in its committees, boards, and task forces.

GPSolo Mentoring Program

The GPSolo Mentoring Program provides a unique opportunity to connect with others in the Division. There are no requirements to sign up as a mentor or as a mentee - and you can sign up for both! This program is perfect for law students, young lawyers, new lawyers, new GPSolo members, established members, and everyone in between. Establish a mentoring relationship today!
