San Francisco firm reverses diversity fellowship criteria amid discrimination lawsuit by Texas-based American Alliance for Equal Rights
San Francisco law firm, Morrison & Foerster, has made changes to its diversity fellowship criteria in response to a discrimination lawsuit filed by the American Alliance for Equal Rights (AAFER) based in Texas. The lawsuit, led by activist Edward Blum, accused the firm of discriminating against applicants based on their race and sexual orientation. In an effort to address these allegations, Morrison & Foerster has removed race and sexual orientation criteria from the fellowship application, making it open to all law students who demonstrate a commitment to promoting diversity.
