The
legal profession lags behind other occupations in achieving
diversity, and its quest for equality is frustrated by conceptual
disagreement and confusion about the meaning of diversity, means of
pursuing it, and responsibility for doing so. As a result, while
minority under-representation and inequity constitute a serious
problem, the profession’s diversity discourse is stuck in a state
of counterproductive disarray.
Eli Wald is the Charles W. Delaney Jr. Professor of Law at the University
of Denver Sturm College of Law where he teaches courses on legal
ethics and the legal profession. He has studied and published on the
issues of law firm culture, including matters of diversity.

Wow! Such conferences must be so interesting. I was looking for the Best LSAT Courses as I am preparing for the law exam and it felt good coming across this post because I see myself attending such conferences one day. I want to be a successful and famous lawyer.
