Texas State Bar Renames DEI Committee Amid Skepticism, Aims for Enhanced Outreach

In an effort to clarify the nature and goals of its work, the State Bar of Texas has made the decision to rename its diversity, equity and inclusion committee. The decision, ratified by the board on Friday, will see the group become known as the outreach and engagement committee. Notably, despite the intent to bring clarity, the move has been met with some reservations and skepticism among several bar officials. Law 360 reported on this development, providing further details on this organizational change within the State Bar of Texas.
