LADC to Co-Host LSBA Conclave on Diversity in the Legal Profession
The LADC will co-host the Third Annual LSBA Conclave on Diversity in the Legal Profession, entitled “The Professional Workplace: Diagnosing the Issues and Finding the Cure.” The program is scheduled for March 5, 2010, at the New Orleans Marriott at the Convention Center (859 Convention Center Boulevard, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130) from 8:00 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., with a networking reception from 4:15 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. The conclave, which should be approved for at least 6.50 CLE hours, will encourage discussion among judges and lawyers, primarily hiring and managing attorneys within law firms, about the importance of diversity (including areas beyond race and gender) within the legal profession and how to improve diversity within the profession in Louisiana. Additionally, during an interactive morning workshop, participants will gain tools that they can use to effectively maneuver diversity issues arising within their offices and in their practices. More information regarding registration will be available on this site in weeks to come.
