We invite your participation in an online survey for the Portrait Project, an ongoing study that documents the experiences and perspectives of Asian Americans in the legal profession.

The original report, published in 2017, offered a landmark overview. In addition to grounding the experiences of our community, the report has been cited in advocacy efforts before Congress and state bars. We are planning to publish a second report – a five-year follow-up – later this year. We want the second report to be even more robust and impactful than the first. Your participation is critical to its success! By sharing your wisdom, insights, and experiences, you can help ensure that the Portrait Project reflects the diverse voices of Asian American lawyers.

To do so, please take this anonymous online survey by April 8, 2022. The survey will canvass your experiences and perspectives on a range of topics. It contains about 75 questions and will likely take about 25-30 minutes to complete. We will offer the first 1,000 respondents a $25 Amazon gift card for completing the survey, as a token of our appreciation.

This project is a collaboration among the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association and its affiliate groups: the South Asian Bar Association of North America, the American Bar Foundation, Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, and Yale Law School.

We sincerely thank you in advance for sharing your time, energy, and insights! Please feel free to email us at portraitprojectresearch@gmail.com if you have any questions.
