More than 150 law-school deans want mandated bias training for students

Numerous law school deans recently wrote to the American Bar Association urging the organization to require bias training for all of its law schools.

Over 150 law school deans sent a letter on July 30 to the ABA Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar, which oversees the licensing and education of attorneys, urging it to expand the required minimum educational requirements.

They argue that it is essential that attorneys understand racial and cultural issues.

The letter stated:

Preparing law students to be lawyers requires that they should be educated with respect to bias, cultural awareness, and anti-racism. Such skills are essential parts of professional competence, legal practice, and being a lawyer. We believe that every law school should develop such training and education for its students.

The American Bar Association mandates the minimum requirements that every law school must meet, though often it is left to individual law schools to decide how to implement these obligations. We believe that the ABA should require, or at least consider requiring, that every law school provide training and education around bias, cultural competence, and anti-racism.

We don’t even have to draw up lists of domestic enemies. They do it for us.

Bias training means the Rule of Law takes a back seat to “racial justice.”

Just crxp. There is every known bias in the law schools. The toughest, and potentially best lawyers to be, took it on the chin or the back and tried harder and could not have cared less.

Question. How many deans are black? 13%? That is the racial make up of the US. So how many deans need to resign?

Are these profs insinuating lawyers will have moral fiber after the bias training?
