The Supreme Court should revise or repeal a Bar rule amendment it adopted in April to prohibit a Business Law Section policy promoting speaker diversity in section-sponsored CLE programs, according to most commenters on the rule.

On April 15, the court on its own motion amended Bar Rule 6-10.3 and said the section’s policy violated U.S. Supreme Court rulings barring the use of quotas in pursuing affirmative action. Although the amendment was effective immediately, the court gave interested parties until June 29 to file comments, and 19 lawyers and organizations did.

One supported the court’s rule amendment, one supported it but called for further clarification, and 17 urged the court to repeal or modify the rule.
