Attorneys General Support ABA’s Push for Enhanced Diversity in Legal Education

The American Bar Association (ABA) recently received notable support from a coalition of attorneys general, including Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul and his counterparts from California, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, New Jersey, and New York. These legal leaders have backed updates to the ABA’s Legal Education Diversity Standard, emphasizing the need for law schools to enhance access to legal education and the legal profession for all qualified candidates. This initiative is part of a broader effort to ensure a more inclusive and representative legal profession. More details on the letter from the attorneys general can be found here.
