Despite the legal industry’s efforts to enhance diversity in its ranks, it still lags behind many other professions in reflecting the population as a whole.
To illustrate that point, almost half of Brits say they picture someone who works in the legal field as white, according a study by The University of Law. Only 12% said they picture someone who is Black or from another ethnic minority.
And in the U.S., more than 88% of lawyers in the U.S. are white, a worse representation than among architects, engineers, and surgeons, for example. Meanwhile, even though Blacks, Latin Americans, Asian Americans, and Native Americans make up one-third of the U.S. population and one-fifth of law school graduates, they represent just 7% of firm partners and 9% of counsels at large corporations.
Rainsville native Macy McFall has been promoted as Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncanâs director of policy.
She succeeds the departing Mike Dudgeon, who served in the capacity since Duncanâs election in 2018. McFall was named deputy chief of staff and director of communications in January 2021.
According to a press release, McFall will assume the directorship role, which involves managing the legislative work and policy priorities for Georgiaâs lieutenant governor moving forward.
McFall, the daughter of Steve and Stephanie McFall, is a 2009 graduate of Plainview High School and graduated from the University of Alabama in 2013 with a bachelorâs in political science. She received her law degree from Georgia State University College of Law and is a member of the State Bar of Georgia.
