[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apologies if there is already a thread about this. This week I read that some biglaw clients are saying they will no longer do business with law firms unless the firms guarantee a certain number of women and minorities on their projects. I can't think of any law this violates, but how is it different from someone going to a restaurant and saying I only want a white server? Or going to a hospital and asking for a male doctor?[/quote] It's definitely different. The goal here is inclusion -- you're framing it as exclusion. It's saying, ok, I'll have the white male lawyer, but show me that you also have women and minorities who are working on the project. The end result should be white males on the project along with females and minorities. [/quote] Why? [/quote]
