NAWJ CO-SPONSORS ABA PIPELINE DIVERSITY RESOLUTION

NAWJ recently submitted a letter affirming its co-sponsorship of the ABA Council on Racial and Ethnic Justice's Resolution urging support for programs and services to enhance racial and ethnic diversity in the educational "pipeline" to the legal profession, up to and including successful passage of the bar exam. The goal of the Resolution is to achieve maximum diversity in the pool of new entrants to the legal profession by catalyzing the efforts of bar associations, bar examiners, the Law School Admission Council, law schools, undergraduate institutions, primary and secondary schools, and others to eliminate arbitrary and unfair barriers to entry and to provide the programs and initiatives necessary to maximize opportunities for people of color to enter and successfully traverse the track to becoming a member of the legal profession.
