Big Law Firm Changes Diversity Fellowship After Lawsuit Filed
09-12-2023
Since 2012, Morrison Foerster has offered a fellowship for Excellence, Diversity, and Inclusion. This fellowship was open to first-year law students who belong to a "diverse population that has historically been underrepresented in the legal profession." The American Alliance for Equal Rights (AAER), run by a conservative activist, sued Morrison and Perkins Coie (another law firm), accusing them of racial discrimination.
