Commentary from The Legal Intelligencer:
Earlier this month, The Legal Intelligencer affiliate The American Lawyerreported on a development that was as disheartening as it was expected. Citing its own yearly surveys of National Law Journal 250 firms, the legal profession’s flagship publication found that the percentage of lawyers from racial minority groups practicing at the nation’s largest firms decreased in 2009.
The decrease in percentage terms was relatively small — from 13.9 percent to 13.4 percent. But it was significant because it was the first such decrease in the 10-year history of the Am Law “Diversity Scorecard” survey, and because data from the survey combined with other factors suggest cause for more serious concern over the longer term.
I believe that we lawyers who work at large firms have an obligation to respond to this development in a manner that advances our commitment to greater diversity to a higher level. We are threatened with irrelevance if we don’t.

I’ve been browsing online greater than 3 hours nowadays, yet I never discovered any interesting article like yours. It is lovely value sufficient for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made excellent content material as you probably did, the web will probably be a lot more helpful than ever before.
Great posting all! Dr. Lyons: you must be in heaven -your dream has finally come true!
I realized more a new challenge on this weight loss issue. A single issue is that good nutrition is extremely vital whenever dieting. An enormous reduction in junk food, sugary foodstuff, fried foods, sugary foods, red meat, and white-colored flour products can be necessary. Retaining wastes unwanted organisms, and harmful toxins may prevent goals for fat loss. While certain drugs briefly solve the matter, the unpleasant side effects are certainly not worth it, and they also never supply more than a short-term solution. It can be a known undeniable fact that 95% of celebrity diets fail. Thank you for sharing your thinking on this website.
Thanks for the important information I managed to get from your web page.
It’s appropriate time to make some plans for the future and it’s time to be happy. I have read this post and if I could I wish to suggest you some interesting things or suggestions. Maybe you can write next articles referring to this article. I desire to read even more things about it!
