The Top Performer award recognizes those organizations in the top 20% for participation in LCLD programs and activities.

The Compass Award recognizes those individuals and organizations that fulfill all the following requirements in a single calendar year:

  • Nominate an LCLD Fellow;
  • Nominate an LCLD Pathfinder;
  • Participate in an LCLD Pipeline program (the 1L Scholars Program or the Success in Law School Mentoring Program).

“As active participants and ardent supporters of LCLD’s mission of creating a truly diverse U.S. legal profession, we appreciate the hard work LCLD puts into partnering with law firms and legal departments,” said Alan York, Reed Smith’s global chair of diversity, equity and inclusion. “We are honored to again be recognized as a top performing firm and a Compass Award winner and remain wholly committed to serving as standard bearer within the profession.”
