Connecticut’s lawyers should better represent our state’s diversity. Few would quibble with that. The question is how to get there.
The Lawyers Collaborative for Diversity is continuing with a program that just might be a piece of the puzzle. It urges Connecticut law firms, corporations, and governments to hire college students of color — not law students — for summer internships. The students would mostly be Connecticut residents. LCD is trying to create a new pipeline to the profession. The only way that we will ever have more lawyers of color is if more college students of color choose to attend law school. The LCD program holds promise as a way to increase the number of students of color in law school. A similar program in Boston has been a success, and the Connecticut program has similar potential.
