The RARE Finds working group of the Canadian Bar Association's Equality Committee is looking for success stories.

We are developing a peer—to-peer resource centre dealing with issues relating to attrition of women and members of marginalized and vulnerable groups from the legal profession. Called the RARE Finds Resource centre, this will be a set of online texts, profiles and links designed to address issues relating to Retention, Advancement and Re-Entry (hence the acronym RARE) into the profession for members of equality-seeking groups.

Part of the resource centre will be a showcase of “RARE Finds”. As a complementary frame to documentation of struggles and barriers, we want to tell good stories about members and member firms that are doing strong work with respect to equality initiatives and who are experiencing success. Accordingly, I am writing to ask you to let me know if you have in your firm, jurisdiction or practice area encountered:
  1. particularly progressive law firms/ in-house or government departments and/ or leaders within those firms who have undertaken innovative tactics to address attrition/advancement for members of equality-seeking groups.
  2. diversely identified individuals who are successfully staying/ advancing in firms/ governmental settings and can provide good role models/ offer tips for member success
  3. lawyers who have successfully re-entered the legal profession after a period of absence, especially if that period of absence was in relation to child care or other care giving obligations.
Please let Rebecca Bromwich know if you know of anyone or any firm you think we should celebrate.
