[QUOTE="bluerocket, post: 176111, member: 34710"] Just wanted to chime in because I just found this thread. By no means taking sides or asserting anyone is wrong or right, just wanted to point out my perspective on this thread of conversation. Firstly, I don't think the OP said "there is [I]no [/I]place for ethnic diversity in the commercial law field" nor that [BAME candidates] "should [I]instead [/I]go into criminal justice." I think they were expressing they are unconvinced it is a "necessity" for having a diverse commercial law workforce but it is a "necessity" to have a diverse criminal law workforce, which they reasoned with their view that the commercial lawyers represent multinational corporations while criminal lawyers represent people. I don't see any evidence of them suggesting that BAME candidates should enter the criminal profession rather than the commercial profession - this would obviously be problematic. I personally think diversity should be at the top of the agenda for all fields regardless of who they represent or work with - but just wanted to point out that the OP's views seemed a bit more nuanced and less conclusive than has been interpreted.
