The initiatives will serve as a structure for recruiting, cultivating and preparing a larger and more diverse cadre of candidates, including minorities and women, who are enthusiastic about and prepared to assume leadership roles within the Section. The ABA Center for Continuing Legal Education maintains a clearinghouse of women and minority instructors of continuing legal education programs. This clearinghouse contains detailed information on talented and knowledgeable minority and women lawyers who can serve as CLE speakers at upcoming ABA programs. Interested parties can join via the internet. We invite all Section Members to participate in the committees.
All committees have open enrollment, prerequisite Section membership.
The Equal Opportunity in the Legal Profession Committee is looking for new members. The committee deals with affording all qualified individuals equal access and opportunity to practice law, especially labor and employment law, regardless of race, creed, color, religion, gender, age, disability, or any other arbitrary distinction. All interested Section members should contact the Section office .
