Some schools have different requirements. I think NYU or NU ask for 3 paragraphs, other schools have a 2 page limit, other schools request 1 page max. I would say draft your idea for your statement out and write a 1 page statement. Maybe adjust it according to the school requirements (itll be more likely that they'll ask for a shorter statement than a longer one).
I'm using the same diversity statement for every school I apply to with minor tweaks. Mine is one page but it may vary for every school you apply to. Sometimes lsac gives you a word or page min/max in the instructions for diversity statement when you apply, i'd check there.

I wrote a one-page DS for all schools. It worked well.

A one page maximum will ensure you meet the guidelines of any school and also show off your ability to write concisely and effectively.

Any recommendations on how long a diversity statement should be?
Methinks a page maximum?
