Potter Anderson & Corroon announced that it is a sponsor of the 2019 Judge Haile L. Alford Memorial Breakfast, organized by the Delaware State Bar Association multicultural judges and lawyers section.

The breakfast is held in honor of Haile L. Alford, the first African American woman to serve as a judge in the state of Delaware. She served on the Superior Court of Delaware until her death in 2003.

The event is scheduled to be held from 8:30 to 10 a.m. May 14 at the DuPont Country Club in Wilmington.

During the breakfast, the MJL section is slated to present the 2019 Alford Excellence Award, a $3,000 scholarship, to at least three aspiring attorneys set to take the 2019 Delaware Bar Exam.
