Description: Second Biennial Diversity Summit

This course has been granted 4.0 CLER, including 4.0 Ethics credits by the Florida Bar. The purpose of the summit is to promote dialogue between managing and hiring partners, government and agency heads, associates and Judges on ways to improve the diversity in our legal community. The luncheon will be followed immediately by round table discussions over dessert and coffee. During the luncheon, Palm Beach County Bar President John Howe will present the “diversity statistics,” highlighting both areas of success and areas needing improvement. The statistics, together with the relative experiences of those attending the luncheon, will serve as the starting point for the round table discussion. The discussions are intended to generate ideas, goals and unique means of tackling this complex issue. Finally, the event will feature a panel discussion which will include prominent local and national leaders.

Keynote Speaker: FL Supreme Court Justice James Perry
