of
that!
Were
you
one
of
the
attorneys
barred
in
Wisconsin
losing
sleep
because
pennies
on
the
dollar
of
your
bar
dues
went
to
diversifying
the
profession?
Fret
no
longer!
After
devoting
hours
upon
hours
to
this
most
precious
cause,
the
Wisconsin
Institutite
for
Law
and
Liberty
has
come
to
an
agreement
with
the
Wisconsin
Bar.
ABA
Journal
has
coverage:
A
final
settlement
has
been
reached
in
a
December
2023
lawsuit
challenging
diversity
efforts
in
State
Bar
of
Wisconsin
programs.
…
The
bar
previously
agreed
in
April
2024
to
redefine
“diversity”
as
it
applies
to
its
Diversity
Clerkship
Program,
which
offers
paid
Wisconsin
summer
internships
at
private
law
firms,
corporate
legal
departments
and
governmental
agencies.
The
new
definition
says
diversity
“means
including
people
with
differing
characteristics,
beliefs,
experiences,
interests
and
viewpoints.”
For
what
its
worth,
this
definition
of
diversity
would
probably
still
manage
to
piss
off
whatever
pool
the
folks
at
Jubilee
pulled
the
pink
shirt
guy
from.
I’d
be
surprised
if
the
story
ultimately
ends
here
—
stories
like
this
tend
toward
flaring
up
whenever
the
demographics
veer
a
little
too
female
or
immigrant.
Until
then,
enjoy
the
“diversity”while
it
lasts.
