The Neukom Chair will investigate urgent questions
surrounding diversity in the legal profession, as well as equal justice and opportunity, and will build on the Research Group in Legal Diversity's work to pursue a larger research program.
The organization's mission is to increase racial and ethnic
diversity at all levels of the
legal professions in the Capital District (Albany, Rensselaer and Schenectady counties and
surrounding areas) for the benefit of Black, Hispanic and other attorneys of color and the entire
legal profession.
