When Susan J. Hackett, the GC of the Association of Corporate Counsel, started with ACC, "No one had ever heard of us," she said. Founded in 1982, the ACC now has 24,000 members representing more than 10,500 business organizations spread among 45 chapters in 80 countries. "I was corporate counsel when corporate counsel wasn't cool," Hackett said. "Now corporate counsel are the darlings of the bar and everybody wants to have them at their program. It's part of the meteoric rise of the in-house lawyer."
