Over the years, members of the Boston Lawyers Group (“BLG”) have demonstrated a consistent pattern of significant increases in the number of jobs offered to and accepted by attorneys of color.

Since its founding in 1986, the BLG has grown into a consortium of more than 45 members, including prominent law firms, corporate legal departments and government agencies in Boston. The BLG acts as a resource to members by hosting forums, roundtable discussions, educational programs and job fairs, all geared towards promoting diversity within Boston’s legal community.

BLG’s collaborative consortium model focuses on developing and implementing initiatives with law schools, student affinity organizations, city and state governments, bar associations and other professional and business organizations. These collaborative efforts give meaning to BLG’s mission to identify, recruit, advance and retain diverse legal talent in Boston.

The BLG is committed to promoting diversity in Boston’s legal community. It is our strong belief that an increase in the number of attorneys of color will encourage public confidence in the judicial system and respect for the law. Further, a more representative professional legal community is a necessity in order for us to successfully address the challenges we face in an ever increasing global economy.
