ABA Minority Counsel Program

The ABA Minority Counsel Program, or MCP, will be hosting its Spring 2008 Meeting I in Newark, New Jersey.

The MCP, developed under the auspices of the American Bar Association’s Commission on Racial and Ethnic Diversity in the Profession, is designed to encourage corporations to retain lawyers of color as outside counsel. The MCP is held three times annually, and brings in-house counsel and potential outside counsel (with each participating law firm limited to no more than two attorneys), together for CLE programs, workshops, discussions, and general networking, all in an effort to foster lasting and mutually beneficial business relationships. Brackett B. Denniston, III, Senior Vice President and General Counsel of General Electric Company, will present the keynote, with other in-house attendees including corporate counsel from Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC.

Crowell & Moring is a 2007-2008 MCP Member Law Firm.

Andy Liu and Prassana Mahadeva are attending this event.
