The lack of diversity in the legal profession is not a new issue, but recent years have seen gradual improvements. However, diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives are now under scrutiny due to legal challenges and setbacks like the Supreme Court striking down affirmative action programs.
Despite progress, women only make up 39% and racial minorities 21% of lawyers. DEI efforts, like those discussed by Lisa Kirby and Kavita Ramakrishnan from Diversity Lab, are crucial in advancing diversity and inclusion in legal organizations.
