51 I L T A N E T . O R G approach targeting specific areas of improvement can and will drive a faster pace of change. New initiatives such as developing technologies to assist legal professionals and their clients, fostering diverse talent by providing mentorships, scholarships and internships, and creating organizational policies that engage people from diverse backgrounds in technology development will go a long way to winning the battle against bias. Eliminating systemic racism in the legal industry will require multiple changes across the entire system. High schools, law schools, law firms and technology developers must all recognize that investment in diverse individuals cannot be a one-time, feel-good donation. It requires a commitment that spans years and extends across the entire spectrum of legal practice. Small adjustments, training, technology and collaboration have the combined power to take down the barriers that prop up systemic racism once and for all.
