Diversity in Practice Panel to Explore Middle Eastern/South Asian Representation in Law

Spencer Fane Partner Ayesha Mehdi among panelists set for March 2 virtual discussion

The UNLV William S. Boyd School of Law’s Middle Eastern Law Students Association plans to present a Diversity in Practice Panel Zoom discussion focused on Middle Eastern and South Asian representation in the legal profession at 6:30 p.m. on March 2.

Panelists set to participate include Las Vegas health care attorney and Spencer Fane Partner Ayesha Mehdi, who will be joined by Seattle Municipal Court Judge Damon Shadid, Nevada ACLU Director Athar Haseebullah, and UNLV Immigration Professor Michael Kagan, director of Boyd’s Immigration Legal Clinic.

“The legal profession remains one of the least diverse in the United States,” Mehdi said. “As a woman of color, I am among the mere 9.32 percent of all lawyers and 3.79 percent of law partners according to the most recent report from the National Association for Law Placement (NALP).”

Mehdi added that implicit bias continues to be a challenge in the recruitment, retention and advancement of diverse lawyers.

“Indeed, for diversity and inclusion efforts to be effective, we must ensure that diverse lawyers are acknowledged, encouraged and actively supported,” she said.
