We work with the schools to provide basic necessities, as well as mentoring, tutoring and an introduction to the legal system. We annually support the progress of minority and LGBT students into law school through our signature pipeline program, the Sidley Prelaw Scholars Initiative. SPSI pays for an LSAT preparation course for up to 36 students each year, as well as application fees for up to 7 law schools. Scholars who complete program requirements and apply to law schools receive an additional grant in their senior year of college. In the summer before law school, Scholars attend an intensive preparatory course taught by Sidley lawyers, in-house counsel, judges and others in the field. Since 2008, SPSI has granted financial support to more than 220 college students who demonstrate academic promise and have financial need that might prevent them from enrolling in an LSAT preparatory course or law school. Six domestic offices run 1L Diversity torship Programs each summer for minority 1L students working in those cities. Sidley provides career-enhancing information and support focusing on how to navigate the on-campus interviewing process to obtain a law firm job. Recently, we have increased our outreach to diverse law student groups around the country. Sidley lawyers and staff take part in on-campus events, panel presentations and seminars hosted in partnership with affinity groups. Many offices are involved in local pipeline projects, including: the Chicago Debate Commission Summer Institute, Just the Beginning programs, Circuit Court of Cook County's Citywide Mock Trial Competition, the Constitutional Rights Foundation of Chicago's Lawyers in the Classroom program, the Law Magnet Program at Dorsey High School in Los Angeles, USC Fellows program, and Moot Court and Mock Trial teams for the Leadership and Public Service High School in NYC.

21 The Firm Says Sidley is a staunch proponent of law firm diversity and inclusion and has long been a pioneer in creating opportunities for lawyers of all backgrounds, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, disability or beliefs. Our mission is to attract, retain and promote to partnership and leadership outstanding lawyers who reflect the global marketplace and communities that we serve. We work to accomplish our mission by: Creating and supporting pipeline programs, including the award-winning Sidley Scholars program, the Sidley 1L Diversity torship Program and the Sidley Diversity & Inclusion Scholarship; Providing comprehensive orientation, integration and skill-building programs for all our associates and specific programs supporting women and diverse associates; Building effective mentoring programs, including those that provide diverse associates with challenging, skill-building work; Monitoring work allocation to support development and access to challenging work; Undertaking consistent education on issues such as implicit bias, intergenerational work teams and cross-cultural communication; Supporting strategic business development initiatives for and by diverse partners; and Working with clients and potential clients to ensure the development of diverse and inclusive client-service teams. In 2009, our Executive Committee convened a Task Force to address heightened attrition among diverse associates and to support the practices of our diverse partners. That Task Force issued a report the following year with two dozen recommendations, which the Diversity Committee has worked to implement since then. Signs of progress include: an increase to about 50% in the percentage of members of our Executive Committee personally involved in mentoring diverse associates and the participation by more than half of our diverse partners in one-on-one business development/marketing coaching with leading rainmakers in the firm. We credit the work of the Task Force and subsequent enhancements made to our diversity recruiting structure with the fact that 36% of our 2015 summer class is diverse. Our Diversity Committee focuses on helping associates from racial and/or ethnic minorities and those that identify as LGBT or disabled to thrive at the firm and in the profession. The chairs of the Diversity Committee confidentially track the monthly hours and semiannual review reports for minority associates and meet with representatives of the Assignment and Compensation Committee to discuss ways to further the progress of those associates. The Committee has also built an enhanced mentoring program that pairs minority and LGBT associates with senior partners in their practice areas. tors are expected to provide mentees with skill-building work, professional development coaching, and client relationship development opportunities. "Tips for Success" programs, annual diversity and inclusion town halls, attention to work allocation, and social and educational events also support the progress of minority associates at the firm. Since 2011, the percentage of U.S. racial or ethnically diverse partners at Sidley has risen to 9%. Over that same time period, the percentage of U.S. associates from racial or ethnic minorities has fluctuated around the 25% mark. In the U.S., diverse and LGBT lawyers comprise 17% of the chairs of Firm Committees, 9% of practice groups heads, 4% of Practice Area Team Coordinators and 13% of our Executive Committee. In recent years, Sidley has also achieved an uptick in the percentage of LGBT counsel and associates, with 3% of lawyers overall identifying as LGBT. Sidley was one of the first large law firms to grant parity in healthcare, leave and other employee benefits for same-sex domestic partners. Our non-discrimination policy was amended in 2007 to explicitly name gender identity and expression as a protected category and in 2014 we introduced official gender transition guidelines firmwide. Sidley performed all the legal work pro bono for Gay Games VII held in Chicago in More recently, Sidley's commitment to LGBT equality was recognized by the Human Rights Campaign, which gave the firm a "perfect" (100) score on its 2015 Corporate Equality Index (CEI) report; the firm has received perfect scores on each CEI report since The firm's Committee on Retention and Promotion of (CRPW) is dedicated to recruiting and retaining women lawyers, promoting women associates to partnership and advancing women partners to positions of power within the firm. In 2012, our Executive Committee convened a Task Force on the Retention and Promotion of, which has examined the experience of women lawyers at Sidley and has made a number of key recommendations that were implemented in the past year, including: Enhancement of support for our women's business development efforts generally, including a Cross-Selling Initiative by hiring a business consultant to work with women partners in Chicago to craft individual business plans, business development training for women partners, and other programs; Implementation of important guidelines for practice group heads and associates on core issues such as parental leave and Sidley's reduced hours policy; Development of a comprehensive practice group head resource guide for managing and developing female talent; Development and testing of an internal social media site for Sidley parents in one of our offices, to be replicated in others. The site provides a centralized location for policies and resources concerning parental leave, working reduced schedules, and similar topics, as well as a venue for posting questions and responses regarding parenting concerns; Institution of the Take A Partner To Lunch program, which gives our women and diverse associates a chance to network with more senior lawyers in the firm and develop mentoring relationships; Participation in the OnRamp Fellowship Program. Sidley was one of the first law firms to participate in the OnRamp Fellowship. OnRamp is designed to facilitate the re-entry of experienced female lawyers into the legal profession after time out of the workplace and strengthen the pipeline of female leadership in firms. Four Fellows joined Sidley in 2014 and all will be joining the firm as ongoing associates this summer. We are now taking part in the second pilot program. We have hired two new Fellows and expect to hire additional Fellows this year. Launching Life Meets Work coaching. Sidley is launching a firmwide benefit for all Sidley parents, which will allow one-on-one coaching with trained and certified coaches on how to successfully navigate work-life balance issues. Because of this careful attention, we can report progress for our women lawyers across a range of measurements. In the last few years, the attrition rate of women associates has dropped dramatically and has been roughly equivalent to that of our male associates for two years running. Almost 50% of our new partner class in 2015 were women, while our recruitment of lateral women partners has also ramped up: in the first four months of 2015, 36% of new lateral partners were women. The percentage of women in committee leadership also continued to rise at both the office and firmwide level. partners comprise 32% of firm committee Chairs or Co-Chairs and this year the percentage of women on our Executive Committee grew to 27%. also comprise 12.5% of the Management Committee. The firm has instituted a wide range of work/life policies and programs that support lawyers as their families grow, including gender-neutral parental leave, reduced-hours schedules, childcare, lactation facilities and practical resources such as seminars on hiring childcare and eldercare providers. Working a reduced schedule does not affect an associate's path to partnership. We also have instituted a number of programs and policies designed to create practice development opportunities for our women lawyers, such as a successful " & Leadership" series, which promotes networking for women, including the firm's lawyers, in-house counsel and other professionals.
