The Florida Bar Board of Governor’s Latest Anti-DEI Move Nixes “Commitment” to “Diversity” in Its Organizational Policy

As of December 13, 2024, the Florida Bar’s Standing Board Policies no longer state that it is “fully committed to the enhancement of diversity and inclusion within the bar.” Following a vote of the Florida Bar Board of Governors, the title of Section 1.90 of the Standing Board Policies was changed from “Diversity and Inclusion” to “Improvement of the Quality of Legal Services, and states that the Florida Bar is now “fully committed” to the “improvement of legal services” and “an environment that fosters equal access and opportunity for all.”
