Bar Diversity Committee

The North Carolina State Bar is responsible for the regulation of the legal profession. Unlike voluntary bar associations, every North Carolina licensed attorney must be a member of the State Bar and is subject to it rules and regulations. The State Bar is governed by a body of Councilors elected from each judicial district, and three appointed public members. There are currently sixty elected State Bar Councilors of which only ten are women and only a few represent racial minorities. The Bar Diversity Committee works to increase diversity at the North Carolina State Bar by promoting the election and appointment of women and minorities to the State Bar Council, its Committees, Agencies, and Boards.
