Equity & Inclusion Resources
The Law School and partners across the University offer information, resources, and guidance to support diversity, equity, and inclusion, including anti-bias support and reporting.
Equity & Inclusion Consultation Program
E&I supports individuals, departments, and student organizations in advancing their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) through the development and implementation of sustainable practices, policies, and procedures. Whether you seek clarification on terminology and best practices, or are exploring a new initiative, E&I looks forward to partnering with you to help you achieve your goals. Consultation appointments are available to students, staff, and faculty at Penn Carey Law.
Request E&I Partnership to:
- Plan accessible and inclusive events
- Improve policies and procedures to be even more equitable and inclusive
- Respond to a concern or recommendation related to DEI
- Infuse more inclusive best practices into team management
- Integrate equity and inclusion into existing or new initiatives
- Help you achieve any additional goals you may have
For questions about the consultation program, please email inclusion@law.upenn.edu.

Access
We are committed to increasing the diversity of our legal
profession by supporting access for members of communities
that have been historically underrepresented. Through pre-law,
law school, and professional programs we target inequity of access
and opportunity, supporting student success.
Our pipeline initiatives engage students at every stage of their academic journey beginning at middle school and leading up to higher education and beyond. Program participants learn about the law school experience, application process, and various legal practices available to them with a law degree.
