In his 2017 speech on behalf of fellow inductees of the American College of Trial Lawyers, Louis Charette emphasized the need for diversity in the law profession: “Without diversity of race, gender, origin, sexual orientation and religion, there’s a risk that the legal profession and the judicial process will lose the public’s confidence.”
