For every attendee, Lockton has generously offered to donate $50 in celebration of 20 Years of the ACC NCR Corporate Scholars Program.  Register to attend and help support this diversity pipeline program that places local law students in paid internships with law departments. Corporate Scholars have gone on to practice in-house, at law firms of all sizes, for the government, and more. Learn more about the program and this year-long fundraising campaign here.
