During this discussion, we talk to Dan about:

1. What it's like to be a DEI Manager at a large law firm; 
2. Advice for law students going into on-campus interviewing season; 
3. How law firm associates can be allies and support their colleagues in promoting a culture of DEI; 
4. What law firm partners can do to promote a culture of DEI from the top down; and 
5. Thoughts on whether SCOTUS’s decision overturning affirmative action in higher education could open a path for challenges to corporate DEI efforts and so, so much more.
