Boosting Diversity Through Innovation, Data & Behavioral Science

Through publicly available reports, the Lab shares the results of its ground-breaking research and pilot initiatives.  

About The Lab

Diversity Lab is an incubator for innovative ideas and solutions that boost diversity and inclusion in law. Experimental ideas are created through our Hackathons and piloted in collaboration with more than 50 top law firms and legal departments across the country. We leverage data, behavioral science, design thinking, and technology to further develop and test the ideas, measure the results, and share the lessons learned. Click here to learn more about some of our pilot initiatives. 

The Lab’s first pilot initiative, the OnRamp Fellowship, is now the largest global re-entry platform matching experienced women lawyers and financial service experts returning to the workforce after a hiatus with more than 35 prestigious companies for year-long paid Fellowships in the U.S., Australia, the UK, and Canada.

To inspire others to create innovative initiatives such as the Fellowship, the Lab partnered with Stanford Law School and Bloomberg Law to execute the first “Women in Law Hackathon” in 2016 – a Shark Tank style pitch competition aimed at generating ideas that will boost the retention and advancement of women in law firms. A series of “2018 Diversity in Law Hackathons” are now in progress with Harvard Law School Executive Education and Bloomberg Law.

Below are examples of the Lab’s recent research and projects. For details on our 2018 projects, please click here to read our Annual Report.
