Mansfield Rules

Mansfield Rules are a set of guidelines designed to promote diversity and inclusion in law firm hiring and leadership selection. They encourage firms to consider a wide pool of candidates, including women and underrepresented groups, for leadership roles and key positions. The goal is to ensure diverse talent is actively considered and included in decision-making processes, helping to create more equitable opportunities within the legal profession. Essentially, Mansfield Rules aim to foster fairer, more inclusive practices that reflect a broader range of perspectives.
