Diversity was a big topic at this year’s Philadelphia Bar Association Bench-Bar Annual Conference in Atlantic City, N.J. As the chair of the law practice management committee, I had the privilege to host “Creating and Maintaining a Diverse and Inclusive Law Practice for All.”

Among the panelists were Naomi McLaurin, director of diversity for the bar association (also course planner); Albert S. Dandridge III, chancellor-elect of the bar association; Sophia Lee, chief counsel for litigation at Sunoco Inc.; and Mary F. Platt, assistant treasurer of the bar association.
