Abstract
Legal issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are critical for attorneys to recognize and understand in the practice of law. Legal research is one part of the law school curriculum through which students can significantly examine DEI issues. This article provides practical insights for managing legal research classrooms to support productive discussions about legal issues affecting diverse groups, including race, gender, sexual orientation, and religion. The authors explore DEI-related classroom management for in-person, online, and hybrid formats; provide classroom management scenarios to consider; and discuss how each scenario might be handled to maintain a healthy classroom environment.
