Yet these minorities constitute 30 percent of our society and in the next few decades people of color will constitute 50 percent of the U.S. population.
Racial minorities are seriously underrepresented in the legal profession.
If this were a society in which race did not matter, under representation of minorities in the profession might be irrelevant. But we live in a society in which race unfortunately does matter a great deal. For that reason the under representation of minority lawyers should be a matter of concern to us all. The law and its application affect all groups in our society. America has always been a society based on law and forged by lawyers.
