Expressions of support for diversity are nearly ubiquitous among
contemporary law firms and corporations. Organizations back these
rhetorical commitments with dedicated diversity staff and various
diversity and inclusion initiatives. Yet, the goal of proportionate
representation for people of color and women remains unrealized.
Members of historically underrepresented groups remain seriously
disadvantaged in professional training and work environments that
white, upper-class men continue to dominate. While many
professional labor markets manifest patterns of demographic
inequality, these patterns are particularly pronounced in the law
and elite segments of many professions. Diversity in Practice
analyzes the disconnect between expressed commitments to diversity
and practical achievements, revealing the often obscure systemic
causes that drive persistent professional inequalities. These
original contributions build on existing literature and forge new
paths in explaining enduring patterns of stratification in
professional careers. These more realistic assessments provide
opportunities to move beyond mere rhetoric to something approaching
diversity in practice.
