 Thank you for making

Lavender Law 2006 – Washington DC

the best ever!

Over 125 recruiting law firms and organizations, 100 speakers, 250 practitioners, and almost 400 students, came together last month to support diversity in the profession.  Lavender Law attendees networked with LGBT practitioners and law students and discussed substantive legal issues while dedicating themselves to improving the standard of LGBT legal practice.  In addition, Lavender Law hosted four popular networking receptions, including receptions for women and people of color, and presented over two dozen CLE workshops for practitioners.

All in all, Lavender Law was an overwhelming success!  Thanks to all of you who came together to make Lavender Law 2006-Washington DC a fun and thought-provoking event.  We look forward to seeing you next year in Chicago.
