In 2019, State and Federal Judges captured data on the appearance of minorities attorneys in their courtrooms, and members of the Women Lawyers Section evaluated the data and identified a number of trends. Their findings were published in an article in the Winter 2021 issue of the Bulletin magazine (https://issuu.com/28oliving/docs/bulletin_winter_2021_issuu). This CLE will feature some of the Judges who collected the data and two of the authors of the article discussing their findings. Please encourage all of your colleagues to attend this enlightening program. Panelists: - Judge Elisabeth French - Presiding Judge of the 10th Judicial Circuit in Jefferson County
- Judge John H. England, III - Magistrate Judge for the U. S. District Court of the Northern District of Alabama
- Judge Javan Patton - Jefferson County Circuit Court, Civil Division
- Sharonda Fancher - Vulcan Materials
- Kimberly Bell - Hughes & Scalise
- Moderated by Brandy Robertson of Heninger Garrison & Davis
Approved by the Alabama State Bar MCLE Commission for 1.0 hour MCLE Credit. Registration fee - - Free for current members of the BBA Women Lawyers Section
- All others - $30.00 (payable by credit card)
Meeting link will be forwarded to registrants approximately 24 hours prior to the seminar.
