The study based its survey conclusions on the responses of 3,237 self-selected lawyers and paralegals. The other 40,000 chose not to participate
Lawyers. Is there any other profession with such an exaggerated sense of its own value and significance? Whenever I hear something new about the statement of principles that the Law Society of Ontario is imposing on all legal professionals in the province — mandating lawyers and paralegals to draft a statement about how much they personally value inclusivity, diversity and equality — I think of a joke I once read.
As a lawyer, I will disclose here that I am a former executive director of the CCF, so infer any bias you care to. As a writer, I will at last get to the point: Dr. Clifton found that the foundational research on which the LSO based the mandatory statement of principles is extremely flawed. It turns out the first fault marring the research is the sort of error one learns about in Research methodology 101: confirmation bias. Focus group participants, survey respondents, and key “informants” were presented with questions that made repeated statements about the effects of racialization on the success of lawyers and paralegals.
