Were They Afraid We Were Planning a Coup D'etat?
I spent my first summer during Columbia Law School at a firm in Philadelphia described as one of the best places in the city for black lawyers. I believed that if there was any place where I would have an equal chance at opportunities, be treated fairly and succeed, this would be it. There were three black female summer associates out of sixty that year but any time all three of us were in an office talking, one of the partners would knock on the door to see how we were doing.
Diversity Policy
I did have frustrations with the diversity committee. It often seemed that they did not consider LGBT individuals to be minorities.

When the new Vice President of Diversity was brought on I was hopeful that she would be supportive of the LGBT community.
As a summer associate, I was assigned a partner-mentor and one afternoon, I sat in on a client conference call with her.
