Essentially zero. Fun fact is that in my entire life around some of the smartest people on the planet, I've met exactly two black men that might have been as smart or smarter than me, and I spend(spent) every working day around people in my IQ deviation (130-145). I'm in BigLaw, so the incentives ($$$) are huge for black people who go into the field, and out of many thousands of attorneys, already selected to be well above average, there's two maybes. (One of them was Harvard Law -- not Obama.)
Occasionally I'll see docket practice going on before/after hearings I attend, and most of the time, when I see a black attorney and how they practice in court, I have to question how they managed to pass the bar. (I assume that generally it's cheating.)
