ABA requiring all Law Schools to push DEI

Addressed to Indiana State Sens. Jeff Raatz and John Crane, Hill’s letter challenges the university’s new mandatory “responsible lawyering” course for first-year law students, introduced to comply with the American Bar Association’s (ABA) “cross-cultural competency” requirements. Hill argues that this move politicizes legal education.

“This class is guaranteed to further polarize and politicize the law school environment and represents yet another attempt by the academic Left to provide a platform for extreme idealogues to indoctrinate students who are essentially academic hostages,” Hill wrote in his letter. “DEI is now ‘in’ at the McKinney school….”

In February 2022, the ABA introduced a new standard for legal education. Standard 303(c) reads, “A law school shall provide education to law students on bias, cross-cultural competency, and racism: (1) at the start of the program of legal education, and (2) at least once again before graduation.”

This marks the first time the ABA has mandated non-legal coursework in law school curriculum.

This is political indoctrination just like in the old Soviet Union, where students in professional schools were required to take courses in Marxism-Leninism. The ABA is a voluntary association, and it seems that conservative and moderate attorneys should abandon it and form a rival bar association. I would also suggest that states adopt legsislation to prohibit political indoctrination courses as requirements in their state universities.

Another recent development of the politization of legal bodies came in Connecticut where their State Bar issued a warning to lawyers about adverse comments of the Trump kangaroo court case. Given that highly respected law professors like retired Harvard Constitutional Law Professor Alan Dershowitz and George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley have lambasted the way the trial was conducted from the refusal of Merchan to recuse himself to his bizarre jury instructions, trying to muzzle attorneys in the state of Connecticut from their freedom of speech on the trial is an authoritarian act done for partisan political purposes. It is appalling that any state bar would make such an overt partisan political move.
