Half of the diverse attorneys will be Black.

Always weird to see ‘diverse’ used to describe an individual rather than a group. I guess it means non-white.

Be fun to see the billing. Will they itemize hours by race of attorney?

Overall though perhaps some sort of quota system in business contracts is the most concrete thing we can actually do.

It could mean female. It could also conceivably mean young and hold. Or maybe they just mean a lot of attorneys.
