"The proposed changes eliminate specific references to "race, ethnicity, foreign origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, socio-economic status, or other relevant topics.” These referenced groups have historically been marginalized and discriminated against in this country and have lacked access to justice and fairness. While the changes may be well-intentioned, the language moves away from identifying groups that require a concerted effort on the part of attorneys to address the challenges they have previously encountered, and those they still face today. The universal recognition of systemic discrimination in the legal system requires focused attention from practitioners and the organizations and bodies that oversee and train legal practitioners. The Supreme Court of Ohio found that this recognition is key to addressing the public’s concerns of the legal profession, “includ[ing] integrity, quality and fairness in the delivery of legal services and legal education in Ohio.”[1] Without a direct focus on access to justice and fairness for the most marginalized groups, we cannot overcome the effects systemic discrimination has had on these communities or public faith in the legal profession."
