Appellate lawyers — including private- and public-sector advocates, judges, and judicial clerks — make the case law that affects all North Carolinians. As our state continues to increase in diversity, it is imperative that the appellate bar thinks about whether that diversity is reflected among its own members.
This moderated panel of appellate judges and attorneys addresses the lack of diversity in the appellate courts, specifically, discussing these topics:
- What is diversity?
- Why does diversity matter and should it be a priority of everyone working and practicing in the appellate courts?
- How can diversity be implemented?

- Judge (Ret.) Wanda G. Bryant, North Carolina Court of Appeals, Durham
