The Institute for Inclusion in the Legal Profession (IILP) studies issues of diversity and inclusion among legal professionals, including those in private practice, working in-house, and in other roles requiring the practice of law. The IILP Review, an academic journal published periodically by IILP, offers carefully-researched articles on all aspects of diversity in the legal industry. IILP’s 2017 Review on the State of Diversity and Inclusion is being discussed in a series of symposia across the United States, during which select authors will be presenting key takeaways from their articles, as well as participating in roundtable discussions. On October 25, 2017, during a symposium in Dallas, Brian Winterfeldt will present his article, “Thirty Years of Progress, Far from Perfection: The LGBT Experience in the Legal Industry from the 1980s to the Present.”
