JOIN MEMBERS COMMITTED TO DEI

CMCP members understand the work required to advance opportunities for attorneys of color.

Business attorneys from legal departments, public agencies, legal services providers, and law firms of all sizes gain the greatest value from membership by getting actively involved, advocating in their organizations and connecting with the leaders and future leaders in our organization.

ATTEND CMCP EVENTS

CMCP events offer members an opportunity to connect with attorneys of all experience levels and build authentic business relationships.

CMCP events and programs emphasize interactivity; members are encouraged to network and engage in conversation as part of the overall experience.

Both in-house and outside counsel attend events knowing they will be joined by leaders, peers, and colleagues who value diversity, equity, and inclusion and are committed to advancing opportunities for attorneys of color in the legal sector.

PARTICIPATE IN OUR SIGNATURE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

CMCP signature events are valued by both law firms and legal departments for corporate and public agencies.

  • The Annual Business Conference is a two-day event packed with business networking and educational programming with attorneys of color centered in the roster of speakers, program topics, and DEI issues addressed throughout.
