SUMMARY:Overcoming Barriers Part One: How Minority In-House Attorneys Can F
 ind Success at the Highest Levels
DESCRIPTION:\nMinorities continue to increase their representation in law s
 chool leading to increases in diversity numbers for both law firms and com
 panies upon graduation.  Yet the increases have been slow and incremental
 \, and the demographics at the highest level of partners or of general cou
 nsel continues to lack the diversity seen at the new attorney level.  For
  instance\, according to the National Association for Law Placement\, Inc.
  “2019 Report on Diversity in U.S. Law Firms\,” “women and people of
  color leave the lawyer ranks at law firms at a higher rate than white men
 \, and women of color remain the most underrepresented of all\, with Asian
  women making up just 1.46% of law firm partners\, Latinx women making up 
 just 0.80% of law firm partners\, and Black or African-American women maki
 ng up just 0.75% of law firm partners.”\nThis program aims to help diver
 se attorneys bridge that gap.  Participants will hear from a number of in
 -house counsel who will discuss their experience overcoming some of the ba
 rriers they faced and how they rose to their current positions.  Each pan
 elist will share their list of Best Practices on how minority attorneys ca
 n achieve success from the outset and to avoid some of the common pitfalls
  regularly experienced by those in such positions.\nLater in 2021\, we wil
 l have a panel called Overcoming Barriers Part Two where minority partners
  and solo practitioners discuss their paths to the top\, followed later by
  Overcoming Barriers Part Three where minority attorneys in the public sec
 tor will share their secrets to success.\nTo register\, please click here.
