Seattle, Washington – November 2, 2009 – The Korean American Bar Association of Washington (“KABA”) endorses Referendum 71 as supported by Washington Families Standing Together (“WAFST”). In doing so, KABA supports extending equal civil rights to domestic partners. KABA stands by its members that identify with the GLBT community and encourages all KABA members to seek equal rights and fair treatment for all citizens.

KABA Equality and Fairness Policy
The Korean American Bar Association of Washington (“KABA”) espouses equal protection for all citizens regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, age, economic standing,
disability, and/or sexual orientation. KABA believes the principles of equality and fairness transcend political interests and that such rights are inherent to each person. KABA supports the efforts by minority communities to attain equal protection and responsibility under the law and encourages members of the legal profession to advocate for equal protection and fair treatment for all.

About KABA
The Korean American Bar Association of Washington (“KABA”) was established with the objective of fostering the exchange of ideas and information among and between KABA members and other members of the legal profession, the judiciary, and the community. KABA seeks to encourage and promote the professional growth of the members of KABA and to provide an opportunity for fellowship among KABA members, as well as to provide service to the general and local community. KABA aims to develop and encourage cooperation with other organizations of diverse attorneys and to provide a vehicle and forum for the unified expression of opinions and positions by KABA upon current social, political, economic, legal, or other matters or events of concern to the members of KABA.

The Law Firm Diversity Report was completed in consultation with Washington Attorneys with Disabilities Association.

The goals of the Law Firm Diversity Report included identifying those firms that support overall diversity efforts, and providing examples of those successes; helping firms understand the circumstances and power of diversity in an organization, both for business gain and for social progress; and providing law students with information that could help them choose firms to support their needs during professional development.
The Law Firm Diversity Questionnaire was sent to the 50 largest firms or law firm offices in Washington State in May 2008. The Questionnaire sought detailed demographic information regarding the racial/ethnic, gender, sexual orientation, and disability status of attorneys and summer associates in the law firms that were surveyed. The Questionnaire also asked for descriptions of law firm diversity efforts and programs. Out of the 50 law firms invited to respond, 32 law firms responded to the survey.
