  • What's Inside Diverse Women's Committee of Lawyers Club
    March 2013 Diverse Women’s Committee of Lawyers Club Presents Commissioner Edith Ramirez at March Luncheon By Lizzette Herrera Castellanos The Diverse Women’s Committee of Lawyers Club, in collaboration with several diversity bar associations, invites you to attend the Lawyers Club monthly luncheon on March 21. Guest speaker Commissioner Edith Ramirez will unite bar members from all different organizations and discuss the importance of diversity and how it has played a role in her life, and how it can benefit the legal field in general. Commissioner Ramirez was nominated by President Obama to serve on a five member commission that works against deceptive advertising and enforces adherence to antitrust law. Previously, Commissioner Ramirez was a partner at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, in Los Angeles, where she specialized in intellectual property and business litigation. While there she represented a diverse range of clients, including Mattel Inc., The Walt Disney Company, and Northrop Grumman Corp., in ac- tions involving copyright and trademark infringement, antitrust and unfair competition claims, business tort, and other general business litigation cases. She graduated from Harvard-Radcliffe College and served as editor of Harvard Law Review. Join Lawyers Club and learn about this extraordinary woman’s path and the challenges she faced as a woman and a woman of color. This is also Commissioner Edith Ramirez a great opportunity to learn more about the Diverse Women’s Committee and our plans for the upcoming year.
