Chief Justice John D. Minton Jr., Judge Denise Clayton, and Judge Joan A. ?Toni? Stringer will speak at the next program in our Diversity Forum Series on Tuesday, February 9. Marque Carey will moderate the forum, which will focus on the benefits of diversity in the judiciary and what's being done to encourage diversity on the bench.

• Why did it make a difference that these women were on the bench?
• What were/are the obstacles for African American women on the Jefferson County bench?
• What has changed during their tenure?
• What lessons can they impart to students who aspire to a career on the bench?  

This forum will also address "Pipeline Programs", like the Central High School Law Magnet Program, and their effect on creating chances for interested "diverse" students to excel academically and eventually go on to law school.



Lunch will be provided for all attendees, beginning at 11:30 AM outside of room 275. The program will begin at 12 noon.
