The editorial staff of The Legal Intelligencer and the Pennsylvania Law Weekly has always been aware that the hiring and retention of minority attorneys is a continuing concern in the legal community. This discussion is a follow-up from one we held in 2007 regarding the concerns attorneys of varied backgrounds from firms of all sizes expressed about their ability to increase diversity in their firms.
