Featured Workshop: Straight Allies Speak Out
The 2010 Lavender Law Conference will close with a general attendance session focused on the economic downturn’s impact on diversity within the legal profession. The panel will explore how that recession has affected the business case for diversity at large firms and how the presumed trickledown effect affects medium-sized firms across the nation. The distinguished speakers, representing Walmart, GlaxoSmithKline, the Association of Corporate Counsel, the Minority Corporate Counsel Association, the National Bar Association, the Hispanic National Bar Association, and the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association, will provide a diverse set of perspectives on this critical issue.
