Who benefits from a diverse workforce in the Pennsylvania courts? We all do. With a strong commitment to diversity through appointments and employment, a court increases public confidence in the justice system, improves workplace productivity and enhances its ability to hire qualified professionals in the future.

The Pennsylvania Interbranch Commission for Gender, Racial, and Ethnic Fairness created this publication to provide judges and court personnel with resources to help recruit quality applicants representing diverse backgrounds.

The resource list is a companion publication to “Creating a Diverse Workforce in the Pennsylvania Courts: A Manual for Success.” The manual provides up-to-date county and state data on demographic trends and key information for judges and administrators to create court workforce diversity initiatives. It also offers details on assessing an individual court’s diversity needs and developing effective diversity programs that target recruitment, retention and training.

The manual is a must-read for judges and court administrators. For a copy of “Creating a Diverse Workforce in the Pennsylvania Courts: A Manual for Success,” contact the Pennsylvania Interbranch Commission for Gender, Racial, and Ethnic Fairness or visit our website at www.pacourts.us/reports.

Law Student Organizations


1. Publicly Announce Commitment from the TopWhile it is important to have a policy on equal employment opportunity, members of the judicial branch and managers within the judicial system should publicly emphasize their personal interest and support for this issue. Frequent public pronouncements on this issue can help promote a positive impression of the court system as a place that values diversity and can foster interest from diverse applicants.

2. Target Advertising and Recruitment Sources to Maximize Exposure to Diverse Groups

Employers in search of diverse talent should consult multiple sources when recruiting job candidates.

3. Consider a Minority Law Clerk Recruitment Program

Programs such as the New Jersey Judiciary Minority Law Clerk Recruitment Program have been successful in drawing a diverse pool of applicants for hundreds of clerkships.

4. Maintain Contact with Schools with High Diverse Populations

Colleges and universities are obvious recruitment stops when endeavoring to recruit a diverse workforce.

5. Maintain High Level Contacts with Bar Associations

Diversity committees of bar associations and minority bar associations often advertise openings for clerkships and committee vacancies to their members.

6. Consider Viable Work Life/Family Balance Programs

Many women feel unable to balance work life and family commitments. Creating options for working women, such as work-sharing, flexible hours and family-friendly leave can attract women to jobs that they may have thought unavailable.

7. Take a Look at Your Recruiters When recruiting diverse applicants, be sure to incorporate diverse recruiters and interviewers into the recruitment schedule.

8. Train Your Recruiters Design a training program for recruiters that includes information about internal hiring procedures, effective interview techniques, affirmative employment goals and appropriate questions and conduct.

9. Understand What You Can Ask and What You Cannot Ask in the Interview Process

While it should certainly be the goal of an interviewer to determine as much as he/she can in an interview process, there are seemingly harmless questions that could suggest a discriminatory motive to the applicant. Questions such as those concerning an applicant’s medical conditions, marital status, membership in social clubs or organizations, and similar questions may not only be offensive to an applicant, but may be illegal as well. The EEOC (www.eeoc.gov) maintains a comprehensive list of what it views to be impermissible interview questions.

10. Consider the Myth of the MeritocracyCertain credentials such as high GPAs and an “Ivy League” education have become an automatic proxy for acceptable candidates, particularly for legal positions. These measures of academic performance, however, have not been reliable predictors of the performance of practicing attorneys, tend to discourage the hiring of diverse applicants and may unnecessarily truncate your applicant pool.

When reviewing applications, look to an applicant’s total experience. Has this individual worked his/her way through school? Might that explain his/her failure to achieve the top grades? What does this say about the individual’s work ethic? Might this person have attended a less expensive state school due to socio-economic concerns or pressures? Does this fact render them any less qualified for the position? Debunking the myth of the meritocracy does not imply a lowering of the bar; it merely suggests that the bar that has been created, notwithstanding its widespread utilization, may not be the best predictor of future performance.

Diversity Recruitment Best Practices


New Jersey Judiciary Minority Law Clerk Recruitment Programwww.judiciary.state.nj.us/lawclerks/New Jersey has a formal minority law clerk recruitment program, the salient features of which include: drawing from a national pool of applicants; active outreach by staff to law schools and minority law student organizations to educate them about clerkship opportunities; participation in legal career fairs and presentations by judges and law clerks designed to specifically attract minorities; maintaining contacts with diversity-focused organizations, such as minority bar associations, who make referrals for clerkship vacancies; and encouraging interning for judges to help law students recognize the benefits of obtaining a clerkship.

New York State Unified Court System— Legal Fellows Programwww.courts.state.ny.us/careers/statewide/LegalFellows.pdfThe Legal Fellows Program is a one-year fellowship for those interested in pursuing a legal career in public service. The fellowship provides a year-long salary with a state employment benefits package to law school graduates from fully-accredited law schools. Legal fellows are assigned work in judicial offices assisting with legal research and writing, and gain valuable experience and knowledge of judicial decision-making and court operations.

U.S. Department of the Interior Diversity Plan “Strategic Plan for Achieving and Maintaining a Highly Skilled and Diverse Workforce FY 2005-2009”www.doi.gov/pmb/fy05_workforce_strategic_plan.pdfThe DOI offers a variety of suggestions for creating a diverse workplace, including: hiring from underrepresented groups in pairs for support; providing relocation/retention bonuses; providing repayment of student loans as incentives; providing mentors; creating accessible office environments to accommodate the needs of people with disabilities; using incentives for hiring a diverse workforce; using a bureau-wide recruitment team; maintaining a highly skilled and trained HR department; and providing education and training about the importance of a highly skilled and diverse workforce.

U.S. Office of Personnel Management Program entitled “Building and Maintaining a Diverse, High-Quality Workforce—A Guide for Federal Agencies”www.opm.gov/Diversity/guide.htm Highlights of OPM’s design for an effective diversity program include: ensuring that recruiters and selection officials work closely with human resources and EEO staff during the recruitment process; keeping abreast of diversity recruitment sources and organizations and widely publicizing vacancies; communicating OPM’s diversity mission and goals; partnering with diversity-themed organizations and schools with diverse populations for sponsorship, mentoring, tutoring and presentation programs; maintaining a diverse group of recruiters; training those involved with recruiting on appropriate behaviors and techniques, hiring procedures and personnel policies; paying recruitment and relocation bonuses; and establishing work/life initiatives designed to attract women.

U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Human Resource and Administration Program on Diversity Management and Equal Employment Opportunitywww.diversity.hr.va.gov/index.aspThe VA maintains a five-year plan to ensure the recruitment, retention and promotion of diverse employees. With respect to recruitment, the VA has established national partnerships with organizations that can be a source of candidates from underrepresented groups. Additionally, each administration and staff office level has its own targeted recruitment plan. Finally, the VA operates four national internship programs and two local programs designed to recruit historically disadvantaged candidates.

Just the Beginning Foundation Judicial Externship/Clerkship Program www.jtbf.org/ Designed by former Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court Judge Doris Smith-Ribner, the innovative program has placed over 150 law students and graduates into externships and clerkships in federal and state courts throughout the country. The program is designed to enhance the legal research, writing and analytical skills of the participants to enable them to successfully serve as judicial law clerks upon graduation.
