Diversity and Inclusion in Arbitrator and Mediator Selection Begins with You
Corporations are increasingly holding law firms accountable for diversity and inclusion within the teams that handle their litigation and corporate matters. How can we make diversity in ADR an increased priority for the users of ADR? What can in house counsel do to support diversity and inclusion in ADR? Is this another way that in house counsel can impact the pipeline of diverse candidates in the legal profession? Join us for an interactive panel discussion between transactional attorneys, litigators, in house counsel, ADR professionals, about ways legal teams can work together to increase diversity during the mediator selection process, as well as in arbitrator selection through drafting ADR clauses.
5:00 – 6:00pm
Theodora Lee,
Founder & Owner of Theopolis Vineyards
Wine Tasting & Conversation
Join fellow lawyer, Theodora Lee, aka Theo-patra, Queen of the Vineyards, as she shares her personal journey and guides you throughher award-winning wines. Her passion for wine began upon her arrival to San Francisco from Texas in 1987, primarily due to the influence of her law firm mentors, many of whom owned vineyards. This led Ms. Lee to take several viticulture classes at UC Davis, before deciding to develop her own small-lot vineyard and hand-craft winery, located in California’s prestigious Yorkville Highlands of the Anderson Valley. 

The wine order window is closed. Please feel free to join with your own beverage.
