A Portrait of Asian Americans in the Law 2.0 - Identity and Action in Challenging Times
Five years ago, A Portrait of Asian Americans in the Law, a novel, comprehensive, multi-year, data-driven study, found that while Asian Americans have penetrated virtually every sector of the legal profession, they are significantly underrepresented in the leadership ranks of law firms, government, and academia. Since then, the Asian American community in general has been significantly affected by major events, including a disturbing rise in anti-Asian hate and violence, a growing movement to address anti-Black racism, and unchartered challenges posed by a global pandemic.
Against this backdrop, it was determined to revisit and update the study, and the game-changing A Portrait of Asian Americans in the Law 2.0: Identity and Action in Challenging Times was recently released. The Asian Bar Association of Washington, the Asian Pacific American Bar Association - Minnesota Chapter, and Dorsey & Whitney law firm are delighted to welcome California Supreme Court Justice Goodwin Liu, one of the authors of both studies, to discuss the findings and offer insights on the successes, challenges, and obstacles confronting Asian Americans in the legal profession, and moreover, to educate lawyers of all races to identify and eliminate from the legal profession, and from the practice of law, biases against Asian Americans.
