Partner Florelee Wan will be a panelist for the Mercer County Bar Association’s CLE program on May 11, 2021, from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm EST. The program, entitled “Promoting Diversity: How the ‘Model Minority’ Experiences Discrimination,” will discuss how the “model minority” experiences discrimination in the law profession. Participants will hear from practitioners from the Asian American and Indian American communities on microaggressions and unconscious biases they face and learn how to be a better upstander when you witness these events in your firm, in the courtroom, and in the law profession.
