What began as a science-backed idea reported in a law review article, developed into an independent corporate entity, Ray Corollary Initiative, Inc (RCI, Inc.) aimed at increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the selection of ADR neutrals. In 2022, the RCI will improve the appointment of diverse neutrals by requiring that those who join its Pledge seek to ensure that at least 30% of each arbitrator/mediator roster is made up of diverse neutrals. The RCI includes the 30% metricbecause of the demonstrated effect that 30% diversity has on the likelihood that a diverse neutral will be appointed.
