Wisconsin State Bar changes "diversity" definition in lawsuit settlement over race-based internships.

Wisconsin's State Bar agrees to change the definition of "diversity" in a lawsuit settlement with a conservative law firm challenging its internship program's race-based selection. The State Bar's Diversity Clerkship Program will continue unchanged under the new definition. The conservative law firm, Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, considers the settlement a victory, stating that State Bar dues will no longer fund race-based internships.
