Michelle Fang and 169 general counsel at other corporations were riding a high Sunday when news of their open letter to law firms demanding more diversity was met with great praise and excitement.
But one of her comments in a New York Times article about the profession’s diversity problem caught the attention of the likes of me. She said she would have a hard time firing the white, male lawyer she has long worked with and trusted if his firm weren’t diverse enough. I seized on that as emblematic of why the problem of diversity in law is so difficult to fix.
