Diversity

Recognizing that diversity enriches our community and enhances the Eastern District of Michigan’s bench and bar, the E.D. Mi. Bar Association strives to foster diversity throughout the profession by providing opportunities to learn, challenge preconceptions, and connect with people with different lived experiences. We define diversity broadly to include race, gender, religion, age, ability, sexual orientation, national origin, physical stature, practice type and sizes, and other attributes. To achieve our goals, the Diversity Committee hosts events that encourage students from underrepresented backgrounds to pursue careers as advocates, facilitate probing but respectful and educational conversations about sensitive issues, and provide environments to make meaningful connections with judicial officers and attorneys across various practices.
