Why You Should Attend
What has been the impact of the economic downturn on the pillars of law office diversity: recruitment, retention, and promotion? What can diverse attorneys (defined broadly to include women, minorities, LGBT attorneys, veterans, and attorneys with disabilities) do to make the most of the current situation and continue to advance their career goals?

At PLI's Diversity in Law Practice 2010 program, an outstanding faculty of in-house counsel and law firm practitioners will discuss, in the context of the current environment, how legal organizations can continue and expand their diversity initiatives and retention programs and provide practical advice on how diverse attorneys can advance their legal careers.

PLEASE NOTE:
PLI is also offering a Live Webcast of the Program. This means that you can view this program from your office or even at home on your computer. We can also set up a Group Cast which would enable a number of attorneys from your office to view the program at once.

Full and partial scholarships to attend PLI's programs or view a webcast are available to legal aid and government attorneys, law professors, judges, judicial clerks, law students and employees of nonprofit organizations. Scholarship applications must be submitted at least four weeks prior to the program you wish to attend.

Please contact Leonard McKenzie at 212-824-5826 for additional information.
