Warning: Firms may not be as diverse as they appear. Diversity, by definition, is composed of many elements. But this very characteristic makes it hard to measure. There’s no easy way to determine which law firms have been the most successful in all aspects of diversity. No one statistic can gauge which firms have done the best job of hiring–and retaining, and promoting–attorneys from each ethnic minority group.
Still, for the past five years, the Diversity Scorecard has used a single statistic to rank the country’s largest law firms: the percentage of all of a firm’s attorneys who are members of an ethnic minority. Our reasoning is that this statistic, however imperfect, is the only one that comes close to capturing a firm’s overall diversity.
