We’re launching "We Do Declare: Women’s Voices on Independence," a multi-year oral history and education project that explores the multifaceted meaning of independence to women in their own lives over the past 50 years through the lens of economic power. Timed with today’s 50th anniversary of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), which made it illegal for banks to discriminate against women applying for loans based on their sex or marital status, our first set of oral histories commemorate this important historical milestone for women and their economic independence. Learn more about how the ECOA came to be from the woman who helped pass the law, and those who benefitted from its passage. https://s.si.edu/48mNQJe

According to ACC's 2023 CLO Survey, rightsourcing is the second highest priority for CLOs and GCs. In a dynamic and fast-moving legal landscape, it is more essential than ever for legal departments to find both the most efficient and the most cost-effective ways to meet the many legal needs of the business.
