Legal Profession Needs More Diversity
DCA Press Release
4 December 2006
Legal Services Minister Bridget Prentice today asked lawyers to
help open up the legal profession to people from different
backgrounds to retain and enhance public confidence. Speaking at
the Law Society's Equality and Diversity forum in London, Bridget
Prentice said that the legal profession should be - and be seen
to be - representative of the people it serves. She challenged
more law firms to publish their equality and diversity figures to
show their commitment and acceptance of the valuable contribution
diversity and equality made, which would increase staff morale
and public confidence.
