What We’re Up To
Making Big Law look more like the rest of America, ethnically speaking, has long been a source of anxiety within the profession. Last night I had a chance to visit with 150 or so high-powered attorneys, most of them African American, to discuss this touchy issue. The fourth annual Lawyers Forum put on by a commendable group called the Council of Urban Professionals provided stimulating conversation, reason for hope, and, inevitably, a bitter sprinkling of frustrations.
