Message from Oregon Supreme Court Chief Justice Martha L. Walters
Inclusion and diversity will make our profession more effective, more creative and more just. But we cannot achieve those results without education and commitment. I encourage each of you to learn all you can about the benefits of inclusion and diversity and how to make the significant strides we need. Please consider signing the MBA Statement of Diversity Principles. If we all take meaningful steps in our hiring, retention and promotion practices, and in seeking the elevation of a diverse cadre of lawyers to leadership positions, we will bring more varied perspectives and talents to our communities, to the practice of law and to the administration of justice. Thank you for being true champions for change!
