Charles E. Mitchell saw an opportunity to make a difference for Pennsylvania attorneys, particularly minorities faced with unfair circumstances, and jumped at the chance. Through his work as a labor lawyer beginning in the 1970s and his involvement in the elimination of the discriminatory nature of the Pennsylvania bar exam, Mitchell managed to do just that despite a late start to his legal career.
Mitchell, who died June 5 at 88 years old, worked at E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. for two decades and as a labor arbitrator for the American Arbitration Association.
