Biglaw firms have faced challenges due to MAGA's attack on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), with many reducing their DEI commitments to avoid backlash. However, Susman Godfrey has taken a firm stand by increasing their Susman Godfrey Prize for law students of color, raising both the number of recipients and the prize amount. This bold move reflects their continued support of diversity in the legal profession despite the current hostile environment, emphasizing their belief in the value of DEI.
"In its fifth year, the Susman Godfrey Prize continues to champion law students of color who embody values of integrity, leadership, and academic excellence." - Kalpana Srinivasan
"The firm is honored to continue to award and recognize law students for their hard work and dedication to the legal profession." - Vineet Bhatia
