Larry was an invited speaker at the Litigation Counsel of America’s 2019 Fall Conference & Celebration of Fellows on October 23-25 at the Montage Palmetto Bluff in Bluffton, South Carolina. The topic of his presentation was “Diversity: Why Does It Matter?” LCA membership is limited to 3,500 Fellows, representing less than one-half of one percent of American lawyers. The composition of the LCA is aggressively diverse, with recognition of excellence among American litigation and trial counsel across all segments of the bar. The conference was designed for Fellows of the LCAs to enhance their already superior trial skills, address practical issues and topics challenging litigators in today’s changing legal environment, and to afford each individual the opportunity to hear from and interact with North America’s finest trial and appellate lawyers.
