Diversity Committee
The Business Law Section remains firmly committed to the goal of
encouraging greater diversity among its members. Toward this end, the
Committee has undertaken a Diversity Initiative, pursuant to which
Executive Committee members have agreed to participate in the
NYSBA’s “Meet the Sections” events at New York law
schools. These events were scheduled to take place at New York Law
School (October 18); Cardozo Law School (November 2), SUNY Buffalo
School of Law (November 7), Pace Law School (November 15), and Syracuse
Law School (November 17). The objective of these events is to promote
student membership in the Section, especially among women and minority
students, and the development of our Mentoring program for third year
law students and newly admitted attorneys.
Additionally, managing partners of New York law firms have been asked
to identify minority associates at their firms whose practice areas
complement the agendas and programming of our respective Committees.
