The share of minorities working in the United States at the largest law firms in 2014 remained about the same as the year before, inching up to 14.4 percent from 14.1 percent in 2013, according to our annual Diversity Scorecard.

Minority representation at law firms at best has reached a plateau, the results suggest. No substantial increase in the overall percentage of minority lawyers has been measured since 2008, when the share reached 13.9 percent before falling in the recession and recovering in 2012.
