IILP | Institute for Inclusion in the Legal Profession

Projects and Programs

Pioneering inclusive practices and innovative solutions for the legal profession.

IILP’s innovative educational programs inspire the profession to think about, and approach, its persistent inclusion challenges in new ways. We provide integrated, multifaceted, common-sense programming and practical strategies aimed at facilitating a more inclusive legal profession.

This section showcases our ongoing and signature offerings—such as the History & Heritage Month Webinar Series, #TalkIntoAction, Law School Course, and the Social Impact Incubator. Each program reflects IILP’s commitment to deep dialogue, intersectional inquiry, and systems-level change.

History & Heritage Month Webinar Series

IILP’s History and Heritage Month Webinar Series explores the legal profession through the lens of diverse cultural histories and identities. Each session highlights underrepresented narratives, connects past to present, and invites the legal community to reflect, learn, and act toward greater inclusion.

#TalkIntoAction

IILP’s annual campaign challenges legal professionals to spend one hour in candid conversation about inclusion with someone from a different background. The goal: move beyond preaching to the choir and start real, eye-opening dialogue.

Symposia on State of Diversity and Inclusion in the Legal Profession

IILP’s Symposia on the State of Diversity and Inclusion in the Legal Profession are half-day programs based on its publication of the IILP Review on the topic. The Review, a 300+ page volume, is one of the most anticipated publications in the legal profession’s inclusion arena.

Social Impact Incubator

IILP’s Social Impact Incubator is a leadership and innovation program designed to support early-career attorneys committed to advancing inclusion in the legal profession. Through mentorship, training, and real-world collaboration, the Incubator empowers participants to develop impactful projects that drive meaningful change

Law School Course

IILP’s Law School Course introduces future lawyers to the systemic barriers and cultural dynamics that shape inclusion in the legal profession. Grounded in research and guided by expert faculty, the course equips students with the tools to lead change from day one.

International Programs

Our international programs bring critical insights and global perspectives to the work of U.S.-based organizations. In an increasingly interconnected world, cross-border dialogue and collaboration are essential to shaping inclusive and forward-looking solutions. These programs offer opportunities to learn from global best practices, exchange ideas with international counterparts, and strengthen transatlantic networks.
