Diversity in the legal profession and in corporate America is not a luxury, the chief legal and compliance officer for parcel company UPS said in an interview.
Teri Plummer McClure, who was in Pennsylvania this week to speak at a Philadelphia Bar Association event with the theme of diversity in the legal profession, said that with these poor economic times in America, she is hearing law firms say they are focusing more on their bottom line and client development and that they cannot afford to put attention on "luxuries," including the diversity of their legal workforce.
