The MBA Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Committee works to promote equality in the profession and justice system and identifies ways in which the MBA can promote diversity in the practice of law.
The MBA invites you to sign on to the Statement of Diversity Principles. The statement was adopted by the MBA Board in April 2009. It presents an opportunity for all legal employers - law firms big and small, governments, businesses, nonprofits and everyone else - to publicly acknowledge their commitment to developing the diversity of the legal community in Oregon. The statement is offered as a vehicle to continue and expand upon our conversation about diversity in the bar - diversity as an encompassing idea, important to all of us.
Special thanks to Schwabe Williamson & Wyatt and Stoel Rives for their generous donations, which covered the costs of printing and mailing the statement.
The Multnomah Bar Association’s Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Committee seeks to foster and expand diversity in the Multnomah County legal community and the state of Oregon. To achieve this goal, the MBA EDI committee awards scholarships for LSAT preparation courses to law school applicants whose future involvement in the law will enhance the diversity of our bench and bar.
The application is open to any law school applicant now attending college in the state of Oregon or Vancouver, Washington, or who has other substantial ties to the state of Oregon. Individuals must also demonstrate a commitment to foster and expand diversity and inclusion in the Oregon legal community.
2024 Application | 2024 Cover Letter
The 2024 scholarship application deadline is Monday, March 18. Applicants should email their completed applications to mbalsat@mbabar.org or send them by regular mail to:
MBA Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Committee/LSAT Scholarship
