Controversial comments published by State Bar President Larry McDougal set off discussions and debates across Texas and throughout the legal community about issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion, in the midst of national discussions about race and equal justice. The State Bar of Texas Board of Directors began to respond by holding two special-called board meetings and forming work groups to pursue potential new diversity initiatives. This CLE discussion will answer the question: What is to come next?
