Law School Initiatives

Colorado Law is committed to inclusion and diversity, and we are proud to support efforts that further this important goal within our school.

• Student organizations: Asian Pacific American Law Students Association (APALSA); Black Law Students Association (BLSA); Latino Law Students Association (LLSA); Women’s Law Caucus (WLC); OUTLaw, the GLBT & Allies Law Student Group.

• Deans' Committee for Inclusiveness and Diversity (DCID): The DCID is a consortium of 1L, 2L and 3L students, deans and faculty whose goals are to (1) increase the number of diverse students and faculty members, (2) promote an inclusive environment  and culture that are conducive to the success of all, and (3) engage with and support the efforts of other student groups.

• Inclusive Excellence Leadership Series: In cooperation with the Center for Legal Inclusiveness (CLI), we provide a year-long Inclusive Excellence Leadership Series for students, faculty and staff.  The programs give students the opportuntity to develop the skills and knowledge necessary for becoming more culturally competent lawyers in today's society by exploring meaningful topics such as generational diversity, implicit bias, work-life balance, micro-inequities, and the dynamics of privilege in law and society. Students who attend four or more sessions receive a certificate from CLI which is recognized by major Denver legal employers and the judiciary.
