Since 2007, PALS invites first and second year law firm associates of color to a full-day professional development intensive retreat to assist with their transition from law school to professional practice. The varied workshops focus on time management, ethical considerations, legal writing skills, personal financial management, and expectations. The associates receive candid advice and feedback from experienced attorneys and diversity professionals on how to thrive in a law firm environment.
The Retreat is hosted by Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP.
