TBA CLE will present The Credentialed Court, Diversity and Legal Ethics webcast on April 7 from noon until 1 p.m. CDT. Inspired by the book “The Credentialed Court,” authored by University of Tennessee College of Law Professor Ben Barton, this program will cover diversity on the U.S. Supreme Court and in the legal profession and our ethical obligation to seek diversity in all of its forms. The book establishes just how different today’s justices are from their predecessors by combining two massive empirical studies of every justice’s background with short bios of past greats to demonstrate that today’s justices arrive on the high court with much narrower experiences than they once did.
