The Philadelphia legal community should not underestimate the impact changing institutions has on creating opportunity for individuals.<\/h4>\n<p>A mere four years after The\u00a0Legal Intelligencer\u2019s founding in 1843, the story of blacks seeking admission to the legal profession in Pennsylvania began. Despite nearly 175 years of black Pennsylvania lawyers overcoming obstacles to entry of the legal profession, institutional barriers persist, leaving blacks and other minorities in\u00a0the state still in search of meaningful access in the legal profession. In 2018, law firms that are not intentional about cultivating diversity may be unintentionally discriminating against diverse candidates.<\/p>\n<p>To tell the story of diversity in the legal profession\u2014specifically when discussing the black lawyer\u2014one must first acknowledge the role of slavery in America. People of color were held in bondage for decades against their will and the ownership of humans by other humans was sanctioned by the laws of this country. Enslavement and discrimination of individuals based on their skin color was codified into our federal and state systems of government and dictated the daily interactions of individuals. These codifications and the resulting caste system became the foundations of the institutional barriers minorities continue to face today. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.khflaw.com\/news\/legal-intelligencer-pa-law-firms-must-learn-from-the-past-to-improve-diversity-in-the-future\/#more-219\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u203a<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the December 11, 2018 edition of The Legal Intelligencer, Tianna K.
