- Title
Actually Begin to Satisfy ABA Standards 211(a) and 212(a): Eliminate Race and Sex Bias in Legal Education.
- Authors
Torrey, Morrison
- Abstract
The article offers proposals that if enacted will demonstrate a commitment to achieving the American Bar Association (ABA) Standards 211 (a) and 212 (a) that mandate for the elimination of race and sex bias in legal education. It proposes making classrooms welcoming and creating inspirational classrooms as a visible statement that all students are welcome and that people of color and white women have achieved great things through legal means. It calls for the assignment of minority and white women faculty to teach in the first year, which would not only be invaluable role models, but would also be the setting example of equitable treatment.
