Incoming Class of 2023 Is the Most Diverse Ever, But More Work Remains
For the third year in a row, this year’s incoming law school class is the most racially and ethnically diverse class in history. The percentages of students of color, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and first-generation college students reached an all-time high. Despite this, the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on race-conscious admission means we must work even harder to advance law and justice by promoting access, equity, and fairness in the profession.
