Strategies for Diversifying the Legal Profession Pipeline: A Critical Race Theory Review
Kelly Long
Strategic Enrollment Management Quarterly, v11 n3 p41-56 2023
Diversity in the legal profession is key to ensuring representation and equity in laws, but there is a longstanding imbalance in the representation of marginalized racial and ethnic groups in the legal profession. By merging literature, quantitative data, and qualitative evidence under the lens of critical race theory and QuantCrit, this article charts the systemic nature of inequities in the legal profession pipeline. Then, it focuses on strategies higher education institutions might employ to address inequities.
