MCCA accomplishes its mission through the collection and dissemination of information about diversity in the legal profession. Last year, MCCA completed the first phase of the Creating Pathways to Diversity Research Project, a three-year effort to study how corporate law departments and law firms design, implement, and monitor their diversity progress. Diversity demonstrates an appreciation for their differences.
Inclusion creates an environment in which people want to stay.
Their transition and progress through these stages are facilitated by integrated initiatives that align diversity goals with strategic, business goals. For more information, click here . A composite of the total data collected through the survey will be available on the eLawForum website to corporate law departments who are MCCA members as well as those law divisions already registered with eLawForum to help them guide purchasing decisions. This data will be analyzed and reported in the aggregate, without identifying information. The purpose of a focus group is to collect qualitative data through the open expression of opinions and anecdotes concerning the diversity efforts of their law firms.
