The William E. Doyle Inn of Court is committed to diversity, equality, equity, and inclusion (DEI). These core values reflect the standards of our Inn and promote the practice of law with dignity, respect, and professionalism. We aim to uphold and practice these values in all aspects of our Inn, including programming, leadership, selection, and retention. When we bring together people of different races, ages, genders, ethnicities, cultures, religions, physical abilities, and sexual orientations and identifications, we all thrive—as individuals, as lawyers, as an organization, and as a profession. The Doyle Inn is therefore committed to creating and maintaining a culture that promotes and supports DEI not only throughout our organization, but in our profession as a whole.
