Latham Cancels Diversity Summit in San Francisco
Latham had scheduled a diversity summit for law students in San Francisco next week, but they’ve just announced the last-minute cancellation of all in-person events. Is this a response to Trump’s anti-DEI campaign?

It’s disappointing to hear about the cancellation of the diversity summit, especially after participants likely put effort into planning and preparing for it. Events like these are crucial for fostering inclusivity in the legal field, and it’s concerning if external pressures are influencing decisions around DEI initiatives. It’s important for organizations to stand firm in their commitment to diversity and inclusion, even in the face of political challenges. I hope Latham reconsiders and finds a way to support these efforts, whether through rescheduling or exploring virtual options.
