Reception Photos: Midwest Region Hot List 2014

UPDATE: Lawyers of Color has named 100 minority attorneys from the Midwest Region to its Second Annual Hot List, which recognizes early- to mid-career minority attorneys excelling in the legal profession. These distinguished attorneys were feted at a reception at the Chicago office of Quarles & Brady on July 14th. The honorees, who are in-house counsel, government attorneys, and law firm associates and partners, were chosen through a two-pronged process. The selection committee spent months reviewing nominations and researching bar association publications and legal blogs in order to identify promising candidates. Nominations from mentors, peers, and colleagues were accepted. The selection committee also made editorial picks of attorneys who had noteworthy accomplishments, especially those active in legal pipeline initiatives. Honorees will also be profiled in the Hot List 2014 Issue. The digital version will be released on July 28, 2014.
