News release: “BA President’s Diversity and Inclusion 360 Commission…formed by ABA President Paulette Brown, spent months reviewing and analyzing the state of diversity and inclusion in the legal profession, the judicial system and the American Bar Association with the aim of formulating methods, policies, standards and practices to “move the needle” and advance diversity and inclusion. The full report is available here. “The legal profession is the best, but we can do better. It can no longer be acceptable for us to be the least diverse of all comparable professions,” Brown said.  She said that the commission produced a “stunning body of work,” much of which is available to the general public on a new Diversity and Inclusion Portal on the ABA website. The materials include policies, online tools, videos, surveys and templates that can be used to immediately promote diversity and inclusion in the profession and justice system. The commission’s materials were created for the legal and judicial communities, but many can also be used by schools, communities, the military and the public to learn about and increase diversity and inclusion…”
