Diversity Pledge

Our firm is committed to advocating for diversity within the San Diego legal community and is a proud signatory to the San Diego County Bar Association’s Diversity Pledge. The Diversity Pledge affirms our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in hiring, retaining, and supporting attorneys from groups underrepresented in the legal field.

Diversity Fellowship

Ferris & Britton was one of the first San Diego law firms to partner with the San Diego County Bar Association-ACC Diversity Fellowship Program, providing summer law clerk positions to quality diversity fellows. Our firm believes that diversity is good for the legal profession generally and for our firm specifically in making us better able to serve our clients, who themselves operate in and deal with a diverse society. The Diversity Fellowship Program is just one small way to work toward achieving this end and, at the same time, to give back to the profession by providing opportunities to others.  Our firm is one of a select group of prestigious firms and companies that provide these opportunities to San Diego law students and has participated in this program since its founding in 2009.

To read interviews with our attorneys and past diversity fellows regarding their participation in the program, see our blog.

Diversity Bar Associations

Ferris & Britton supports various diversity bar associations, including the Korean American Bar Association of San Diego in which Attorney Justin Paik served as President for the 2017-2018 term.

Our firm is also dedicated to supporting and empowering women in the legal field. Ferris & Britton is a proud member of Lawyers Club of San Diego, whose mission is to advance the status of women in law and society. Attorney Elyssa Kulas is an active member of the Lawyers Club Trial Advocacy Task Force.
