ABA must ‘stop treating people based on DEI’ to comply with law, group leader says
Four conservative public interest groups and law firms have recently lodged a Title VII complaint against the American Bar Association, accusing it of racial and sex-based discrimination.
American Civil Rights Project Executive Director Dan Morenoff told The College Fix via phone interview the ABA’s “judicial clerkship programs” are the clearest breach of the law among all of its programs.
The ABA’s website states the program aims to promote “full and equal participation by all lawyers.”
Further, only women, those with a disability, those who “identify” as LGBTQ+, people of color, or those who have “overcome social or economic disadvantages” will be considered for the program.
