American Bar Association Member Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion Plan
This Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Plan outlines guidelines for the American Bar Association (ABA) to achieve Goal III by ensuring full and equal participation of all members. Key strategic areas include widespread dissemination of the plan; promotion and tracking of diversity across ABA leadership, membership, and law schools; integration of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in leadership nominations and development processes; mandatory adoption of DEI plans by all ABA entities; active promotion of diversity in ABA membership, CLE programs, publications, and events; enhanced tracking and reporting of DEI progress; encouragement of mentoring and pipeline programs; fostering partnerships; and highlighting the ABA's DEI accomplishments. The plan aims to foster the recruitment, retention, and advancement of individuals from historically underrepresented backgrounds within the Association and the legal profession.
