What is the Diversity, Outreach, Opportunities, and Recruitment (DOOR) Program?
The AFL-CIO Lawyers Coordinating Committee (LCC)–a network of approximately 1,900 union-side attorneys representing unions affiliated with the AFL-CIO—created the LCC Diversity, Outreach, Opportunities, and Recruitment (DOOR) program to encourage law students of color to apply for summer clerkship opportunities at LCC law firms and legal departments. The outreach program seeks to introduce minority law students to the practice of law in the labor movement and to encourage them to join the ranks of union-side attorneys in the ongoing battle for social and economic justice. To enhance their summer experience, students participate in the LCC DOOR Law Clerk Networking Conference, which features workshops and presentations on labor law practice, union organizing and representation, politics and legislation. The conference is two days and usually held on the second weekend in June at the AFL-CIO Headquarters in Washington, DC.
