On Jan. 30, California's Public Utilities Commission will hold a meeting with GCs of five major utility companies and representatives of two minority advocacy groups to address diversity issues. On the table are concerns that the PUC's possible expansion of criteria for recognizing utilities that hire diverse legal counsel could blunt progress that's already been made. Minority attorneys at majority-owned firms have complained that the PUC's "diversity credit" system works to their disadvantage.
