Overview
Crowe Dunlevy has long supported diversity initiatives at the national and local levels. In 1999, the firm was a founding member of the American Bar Association (ABA) Legal Opportunity Scholarship, created for the purpose of assisting talented young minority students in completing their legal studies. The firm has historically been a sponsor of the ABA Spirit of Excellence Awards Luncheon, at which lawyers and others are recognized for their works in creating diversity in the legal profession and advancing justice for minority Americans. Additionally, the firm encourages and supports an attorney who serves annually as a coach for the Ada Lois Sipuel Fisher Chapter of the Black Law Students Association at the University of Oklahoma College of Law’s Frederick Douglass Moot Court Competition team.
As further service toward promoting diversity in our profession and judicial system, our attorneys regularly participate in reviewing applications received for the ABA Legal Opportunity Scholarship and for the ABA Litigation Section’s Judicial Intern Opportunity Program. The firm also partners with the public schools in the community to encourage minority students to consider careers in the legal profession.
Many of the firm’s attorneys are also very involved in the Native American communities throughout Oklahoma. They serve as board members of Indian interest nonprofits, speak frequently at tribal colleges and gatherings and dedicate their time in the form of volunteerism and pro bono work for many of the tribal communities.

During the fall, the firm hosts an annual Diversity Mixer at our offices in Oklahoma City and Tulsa, welcoming law students from the University of Oklahoma College of Law, the University of Tulsa College of Law, and Oklahoma City University School of Law. The event serves as an opportunity for aspiring attorneys to network with industry professionals and celebrate diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) in the legal profession.
