Delaware Judiciary updates progress on 2022 diversity plans recommendations
The Delaware Judiciary releases an update report to its 2022 Strategic Plan to improve diversity in the Delaware bench and bar.
Nearly two-thirds of the 50 recommendations in the plan have been implemented or will be in the coming months.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer for the Delaware court system Kaelae Shaner says the biggest strides made are in engagement with college and pre-college students, including re-imagining and re-energizing the Delaware Law-Related Education Center.
Shaner emphasizes removing barriers to the bar exam are also significant.
“Like trimming the testing subjects and essays that are part of the bar examination,” Shaner says. “And a huge, huge barrier was the administration of the bar exam being only once per year, now offered twice a year. Also changed some of the fees associated with the bar examination.”
Shaner notes the bar is not just an exam, but an extensive process that also evaluates candidates’ moral and ethical character. She says they are taking a closer look at the way “fitness” to practice law is standardized.
Shaner says for current judges and court staff, they have started providing enhanced training to reduce implicit bias in the court environment.
Overall Shaner says the courts are understaffed but doesn’t think there is a shortage of qualified candidates. She says the courts are also working to unify job descriptions so applicants are more aware of the type of work they’ll be doing.
“Which will hopefully increase our reach and increase interest in qualified candidates for these positions,: Shaner says. “Because it’s great work, it’s rewarding work, and we have a workforce here in Delaware. I don’t think it is a shortage of qualified candidates so much as just increasing our awareness.”
Initiatives still left on the to-do list include some more long-term goals – such as alternate pathways to licensure like formalized mentorships as opposed to the bar exam.
“The biggest issue with bar exams across the country, the conversation is like, does this rogue memorization really help with on the job performance?” Shaner says.
Shaner notes other states like Connecticut and Oregon have successfully implemented a pathway through formalized mentorships.
The report also highlights the recent formation of the Delaware Leadership Council on Legal Diversity by representatives from several large Delaware firms. They are working on recruitment and retention initiatives – and reconvening the Delaware Judiciary’s Access to Justice Commission.
For many people in Delaware, the UDairy Creamery is a favorite spot for a scoop of ice cream.
Whether customers are ordering guava sherbet, butter pecan or one of the creamery’s many other flavors, the University of Delaware shop has built a loyal following over the past 15 years.
But almost as soon as the creamery opened on the university’s South Campus, it outgrew its space.
“It was always a little too small and a little too tough to come in and leave at the same time,” said Jen Rodammer of the UDairy Creamery.
Connected to the University of Delaware’s College of Agriculture, the creamery offers products that go beyond ice cream. Everything starts with the university’s agricultural programs.
“We sell honey from our apiary, we sell wool blankets for our sheep, we have Angus beef cuts available too, so we are really the connector between the college and everything we do here,” Rodammer said.
For now, customers can visit a temporary pop-up version of the creamery inside the ice rink next door while construction continues on the main building.
The renovation project, which has closed the creamery’s longtime home and impacted traffic near Townsend Hall, is designed to create a larger and more accessible space. University officials say visitors can expect quicker service, additional seating and more room to enjoy their ice cream.
“So our patio is being completely redone. There’s gonna be benches, chairs, tables and just a lot more friendly and welcoming,” Rodammer said. “It’s not just gonna be the creamery. It’s botanical gardens also.”
By late August, one of the biggest changes will be a stronger connection between the creamery and the University of Delaware’s botanical garden trails, which are free and open to the public. Visitors will be able to walk the trails and see the cows that help produce the milk used in the creamery’s ice cream.
The expansion comes after years of growth for a business that Rodammer said was originally expected to be much smaller.
“I don’t think they thought it was gonna be more than a mom and pop shop. And it really changed quickly. We’ve become a community staple, which is really exciting for us,” she said.
