Don Liu Joins NY City Bar Task Force on Young Lawyers

The New York City Bar’s 44th Street Blog reported on July 16 that it has formed a new Task Force on New Lawyers in a Changing Profession to address what City Bar president Carey Dunn has described as “the plight of young lawyers."  Created in response to recent ABA statistics showing that only 55% of recent law grads found full-time legal employment, the task force has convened leaders from across the legal spectrum, from academia to private practice, as well as the corporate, government and public interest sectors.

Among the Chief In-House Counsel tapped to participate in this important task force is Don Liu, General Counsel of Xerox.  Don was recently recognized as one of the New York City Bar’s Diversity and Inclusion Champions for 2012.  He is also an active and valued member of AABANY and its Advisory Committee.
