Commission on Racial & Ethnic Diversity in the Profession  |
The ABA Commission on Racial and Ethnic Diversity in the Profession is a diverse group of committed lawyers, through its work and programs, is the catalyst for creating leadership and economic opportunities for racially and ethnically diverse lawyers within the ABA and the legal profession. We provide a voice to surface and tackle issues of discrimination, racism and bigotry, and to inspire the ABA and the profession to value of differences, to be sensitive prejudice, and to reflect the society they serve. |
