The ABA Section of Business Law along with the ABA Commission on Racial and Ethnic Diversity in the Profession is pleased to announce The National Conference for the Minority Lawyer, to be held June 22-23,2006 in Philadelphia, PA.
For a brochure of the conference click here: Minority Lawyer

This important conference, in it's eighth year, is designed specifically for the minority lawyer and continues it's commitment to keeping the minority lawyer abreast of key diversity initiatives as they impact the minority lawyer community. With a stellar line-up of industry leaders, this widely regarded conference, recognized and cosponsored by leading minority bar associations, will present a wide array of topical programming, all offering concise, practical training sessions for minority business lawyers, litigators, government attorneys and law students. With networking receptions, luncheons and other fellowshipping opportunities, attendees will share with and learn from major diversity facilitators in the legal community.

One of the speakers highlighted during the meeting will be William T. Coleman, Jr. Mr. Coleman's remarkable career has been an inspiration for generations of minority lawyers; he has helped to shape the course of American history for more than half a century. His many accomplishments reflect the pinnacle of both achievement and public service - as law clerk to Justice Felix Frankfurter, he was the first black law clerk for the nation's highest court; he was a civil rights lawyer in Brown v. Board of Education; he is a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom; and, served as Secretary, U.S. Department of Transportation.

The National Conference for the Minority Lawyer is a wonderful opportunity to acquire valuable tools for lawyers seeking to enhance the skills they will need to position and promote themselves in the current environment. Do not hesitate to contact me at (312) 988-5506 with any questions you may have or to request brochures for the conference.
