Equality & Diversity at the Bar

Equality & Diversity
Bar Council Chairman's Column in "Counsel"
May 2006
This month I am devoting my column to the issue of equality and
diversity.  It is now widely recognised that an important issue
for any profession is the extent to which its composition, in
terms of ethnicity and gender, reflects that of the community it
seeks to serve.  However, there are wider and more fundamental
reasons why the Bar must be a strong proponent of equality and
diversity.
