Winston & Strawn Hosts Diverse Associate Roundtable for Our 1L LCLD Scholars

On June 8, Winston & Strawn’s 11 LCLD Scholars gathered in Chicago for our annual 1L Diverse Associate Roundtable. The centerpiece of our LCLD Scholars program, Winston’s Diverse Associate Roundtable provides professional development and networking opportunities. This summer, our half-day Roundtable included the following:

• Off the Record: Candid Conversations – a panel discussion with Winston Partners Don Goff, Krishnan Padmanabhan, David Sakowitz, and Angela Smedley, and Associates Marcus Garcia, and Nasir Hussain.
• Soliciting and Acting on Feedback – a panel discussion with Winton Partner Timothy Kincaid and Associate Chris Parker.
• Cultivating a Joyful Law Practice Through Meditation – Presented by Jeena Cho, attorney and co-author of The Anxious Lawyer: An 8-Week Guide to a Joyful and Satisfying Law Practice Through Mindfulness and Meditation.

In addition to participating in our Diverse Associate Roundtable, Winston’s 1L LCLD Scholars spend their summer working on challenging assignments with some of the country’s top attorneys. They also have an opportunity to work on-site with one of our clients to gain first-hand experience of what it’s like to practice law in a corporate setting.
