ABA Center for Racial and Ethnic Diversity
The Diversity Center is the "umbrella" entity for the four major groups within the ABA that address racial and ethnic diversity issues. As the preeminent legal association in the world, the ABA is in a unique position to help develop the parameters and goals for increasing diversity within the profession and serve as a guiding force in program development and innovation. Through its national lens and by garnering its strength, the ABA, through the Diversity Center, is positioned to assume a greater leadership role in advancing diversity in the legal profession.
The Center is comprised of four main entities: Commission on Racial and Ethnic Diversity in the Profession, Coalition on Racial and Ethnic Justice, the Council for Racial and Ethnic Diversity in the Educational Pipeline and the Commission on Hispanic Legal Rights & Responsibilities. Through the efforts of these four entities, the ABA addresses the issue of diversity with a four-pronged approach focusing on racial and ethnic issues in the legal profession, social justice system, advancing students into the profession and ensuring that the voices of the Latino community across this nation are heard.
