Diversity
Committee Activities
The Section's Diversity Committee
recently joined the ABA's efforts to honor Hispanic
jurists by posting a link to the web site prepared
by the Division for Public Education with profiles
of four outstanding Hispanic jurists for Hispanic
Heritage Month. The committee encourages you to take
a moment to learn something about these fine attorneys--their
wonderful accomplishments and contributions to the
legal profession and to the larger communities in
which they serve.
The committee has also posted
a link to a new video or audio tape program on Diversity.
Valuing Diversity: Law Firms and Leadership in
the 21st Century is now available through the
ABA's Center for CLE.
This 40-minute program was
developed as part of the ABA's ongoing emphasis on
encouraging diversity in the profession. It has proven
to be an indispensable resource as we enter the new
millennium. It addresses such topics as: why a diverse
workplace is important for law firms; the current
realities of professional life; the current barriers
to a diverse workplace; how law firms can overcome
these barriers; and the practical steps law firm leaders
should take.
