The key points underscore the importance of delicate balance between integrity of arbitration and justice through judicial oversight. The caution is against undermining arbitration and opening floodgates to appellate review. At the same time, self-regulation and legislative engagement are important. LegalDeli.in

I'm excited that I'm a part of the American Bar Association's Future of DEI Working Group. In response to last summer's SFFA decision where SCOTUS struck down the use of race-conscious admissions processes via the methodology used by Harvard and UNC, the New York State Bar Association created a Task Force on Advancing Diversity. This Task Force analyzed SFFA and created an incredible 100 page document outlining how the decision impacts the legal profession, what the decision does *not* address, and why equitable initiatives are so crucial for organizations. In February, the ABA House of Delegates adopted a Resolution that endorses the Report issued by the NYSBA Task Force. Now an ABA working group is putting together suggestions to help legal organizations implement what the Task Force recommended. I asked to participate in the sub-group that will work on what DEI training needs to cover, how to encourage senior leadership to get on board with DEI initiatives, and how to measure what folks think about an organization's current DEI efforts. The Working Group's report is due to ABA President Mary Smith by July so there's a lot of work to do between now and then. #DEI #Equity #RacializedTrauma
