Systemic racism in the legal profession refers to the ingrained structural biases and practices that disproportionately disadvantage racial minority lawyers, leading to disparities in representation, opportunities, and outcomes. How does society treat individuals of different races, sexes and beliefs? The 2020 ABA Profile of the Legal Profession report offers statistics and information that reveal how the legal profession is doing with diversity and inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Honorable Ashleigh Parker Dunston<\/a> of North Carolina has written extensively about her experience with systemic racism. ACTEC Fellow Paula Kohut<\/a> discusses biases in the legal profession, Judge Dunston\u2019s recent article \u201cJustice Isn\u2019t Always Blind\u201d in the North Carolina State Bar Journal and her recommendation for the legal system and people of diverse backgrounds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
