Law schools have long been
homogenous. As Lani Guinier said about women’s legal education, law school is
about “becoming gentlemen,” one could say that it is about “becoming white
gentlemen.” Traditional hierarchies are entrenched throughout all of legal
education. Although law schools have come to understand the importance of
diversity, equity, and inclusion, it often feels as DEI is merely performative.
This panel explores the ways in which well-intentioned DEI programs, policies,
and practices have failed to meaningfully change the culture of law school and
considers approaches by which a law school may make a difference by making
difference meaningful.
