Survey for Legal Professionals: Understanding Workplace Experiences

Legal professionals are invited to participate in a first-of-its-kind project aimed at better understanding the workplace experiences of today’s legal professionals.

The research project examines the opportunities and challenges facing individuals in the legal profession of the 21st century, with consideration of women, minorities, people of differing sexual orientations and gender identities, people with disabilities, and others. The American Bar Association is partnering with the Burton Blatt Institute at Syracuse University on this study.

The 15-minute survey is anonymous and voluntary. It is approved by the Syracuse University Human Subjects Review Board. The findings will be used to help develop best practices in the legal profession.

Please feel free to pass this request for participation to your colleagues and various legal professional networks. Any questions or comments may be addressed to Dr. Ynesse Abdul-Malak at [email protected].
