The American Bar Association has revised the criteria for its Judicial Clerkship Program, eliminating mentions of minority students after allegations of discrimination based on racial quotas.
Law schools are now encouraged to select a diverse group of students, but the lack of enforced hiring parameters for judges raises concerns about actual diversity outcomes.
An attorney viewed the changes as a win, endorsing that all students deserve equal employment opportunities without judgment based on race, though this oversimplifies the issues.
Removing inclusion initiatives is framed as ensuring fairness in hiring, yet it may negatively impact women and other marginalized groups, contrary to its stated intent.
