The expansive reach of the Internet and the inescapable web of social networks have resulted in a smaller and more interdependent global society. The easy exchange of information and ideas worldwide has caused the chasm that once existed between global cultures to be narrowed in modern society.
At the forefront of our new global society is the issue of diversity and its beneficial value and utility in the workplace. Businesses, both locally and abroad, are now cognizant of diversity as a means of survival in the global economy. The legal community has taken notice of the need for diversity, and law firms specifically have created diversity committees that emphasize the importance of maintaining a diverse attorney population.
