    A fundamental goal for the future of the Standing Committee on Fairness and Diversity is to increase the LEGAL, SOCIAL, and CULTURAL competence of Florida’s legal profession.  To help facilitate this mission, the Committee was tasked with overseeing the establishment of a Court Diversity Information Resource Center.  The resource center will provide links to diversity and fairness court education curricula, best practices for diversity recruitment and retention utilized by state and national organizations, and other research materials relevant to the ongoing development of diversity perspectives.

    The following list of links will assist in achieving this objective.
