The NJSBA Special Committee on Racial Equity in the Law will examine the impact of racial inequalities and racism within the practice of law and the administration of justice in New Jersey. The Committee will address institutional anti-Blackness within the State’s legal establishments and its impact on the practice of law. Based on its findings, the Committee will make recommendations to the NJSBA Board of Trustees to advance specific strategies and policies directed at improving fairness in the administration of justice; improving the practice of law for all practitioners; educating lawyers and Bar leaders about the impact of racism on law and justice; and preserving the independence and integrity of the judicial system. The work of the Committee is crucial to reach racial equity in the legal system and in the practice of law for all, and the Committee’s membership should be inclusive of representatives from throughout the state’s legal community, including the affinity bar associations.
