ITALIAN AMERICANS & THE LEGAL PROFESSION 

SURVEY 

The Calandra Italian American Institute at the City University of New York (CUNY) and the National Italian American Bar Association (NIABA) have partnered to conduct a study on Italian Americans and the legal profession. Although data on diversity in the legal profession is often published by national and state bar associations, there has not yet been a study that includes data on the career paths of Italian American law students and lawyers. This study will be the first to explore Italian Americans’ representation and experiences in various sectors of the legal field, helping us gain valuable insight into how Italian Americans are currently situated in the legal profession. Your participation in this 3-minute survey is imperative to help build an empirical grounding to start a conversation—both within and outside of the Italian American community—about the unique challenges and opportunities Italian Americans face in their legal careers. If retired, please answer according to when you were practicing law.
