Our findings reveal a very widespread sentiment in favor of the ideas that law firms should consider a diverse candidate pool in recruiting and that diversity is a competitive advantage for small law firms. However, not everyone agrees, and skeptical points of view are included in our Report as well. **Fill out the form to see our findings and receive a free copy of the report .\*** *\*The Small Law Diversity Survey report will be delivered via e-mail.
