Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today on the podcast, we have guest Alexis Yee-Garcia, who manages diversity, equity, and inclusion programs at a BigLaw firm.

In this episode we discuss:
- Alexis Yee-Garcia’s professional background
- What does “diversity and inclusion” mean in the legal employment context?
- How can you tell if a firm is really serious about diversity and inclusion?
- Participating in minority career fairs or summer programs
