Judicial and Legal Diversity Board kicks off

The Lord Chancellor, David Lammy, and Lady Chief Justice, Baroness Carr, last week chaired the inaugural meeting of a Judicial and Legal Diversity Board, which aims to identify and remove barriers holding back talented ethnic minority and other diverse candidates

Baroness Carr said the Board was ‘a welcome forum for us to work alongside the legal professions in providing opportunities for people from all walks of life to become part of a judiciary that is inclusive, respectful and representative of the society that we serve’.

Law Society president Mark Evans said: ‘We look forward to seeing concrete proposals.’
