The article discusses the implications of a recent shift in administration towards a negative stance on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, particularly in the legal profession. The author contemplates the decision-making process in hiring and promotion when equally qualified candidates present, especially as law schools now produce a majority of female graduates. Additionally, the future of programs like the Mansfield Rule and the Rooney Rule, aimed at increasing representation, is uncertain. The piece critiques the potential regression of hard-won diversity efforts, signaling a troubling trend for marginalized groups in law and beyond.
DEI initiatives are under threat, raising critical questions about the future of diversity in the legal profession amidst administrative changes.
If law schools are majority women, will these new policies negatively impact their career opportunities and perpetuate gender disparities?
