Turning Point

Washington, D.C.'s Arnold & Porter hired its first African-American partner in 1969, and has since made diversity among its lawyers a priority.

Remarks on Detainees Cement Bond Between Firms and Corporate Clients

When Pentagon official Charles "Cully" Stimson rattled off a list of firms representing Guantanamo Bay detainees in a now-infamous radio interview, he predicted that businesses would shun their outside counsel.
