Bar-approved continuing legal education courses may not set quotas to guarantee diversity among presenters for those programs, according to the Florida Supreme Court.

The court on its own motion on April 15 amended Bar Rule 6-10.3(d). The court said it was reacting to a recent Business Law Section policy that “imposes quotas requiring a minimum number of ‘diverse’ faculty, depending on the number of faculty teaching the course.”

The policy said diversity should include “race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, and multiculturalism.”
