Mansfield Rule

As part of its continued efforts to actively recruit and advance the recruitment, development, and promotion of diverse lawyers, Stark & Stark is participating in Diversity Lab’s Midsize Mansfield Rule initiative. The Mansfield Rule is named for Arabella Mansfield, the first woman admitted to practice law in the United States. It measures whether law firms affirmatively consider diverse lawyers for hiring, advancement, and significant leadership roles.

Under this initiative, we strive for a candidate pool consisting of at least 30% women, attorneys from underrepresented racial and/or ethnic groups, lawyers with disabilities, and/or LGBTQ+ attorneys. The Mansfield Rule initiative also includes a commitment by Stark & Stark to be transparent in our internal governance, particularly with our selection guidelines and job descriptions for firm management roles and committees.
