The ABA Commission on Women in the Profession is excited to announce a national Day of Conversation on race, ethnicity, and gender in the legal profession on April 27th, 2021. The Commission’s toolkit, This Talk Isn’t Cheap, contains all the resources you need to structure your dialogue.
The Day of Conversation invites interested organizations to commit to hosting sixty- to ninety-minute conversations to address equity within their work place by using the Commission on Women in the Profession’s This Talk Isn’t Cheap: Women of Color and White Women Attorneys Find Common Ground report and Guided Conversations toolkit.
The intention of the Day of Conversation is to build allyship and ultimately help to reduce bias in the legal profession. We hope you’ll join us virtually & start needed conversations within your communities, increase unity, and help people create next steps in order to commit to race, ethnicity, and gender equity.

A virtual fundraising event to support King County Bar’s Minority Law Student Scholarship and Pro Bono Services programs
This is the King County Bar Foundation’s largest fundraiser of the year – a chance to highlight and recognize the remarkable direct services work our KCBA team provides to our marginalized communities each and every day. On top of that, a large portion of raised funds goes directly to minority law students at both SU Law and UW Law. Talk about a direct impact and a real feel-good event.
Please remember that every donation matters. That $5 donation you may not think much of funds the pens we use for intake forms at our clinics and that $1000 helps us setup digital kiosks at the courthouses so clients without access to technology are able to exercise their right to appear for hearings.
Registration Is Free!
