Understanding ethnic diversity and how to work together not only promotes positivity but also enhances productivity and creativity. The awarded student we choose truly exemplifies an exceptional example of positively utilizing their law degree to promote such an important issue,” says Partner and Attorney Lawrence J. Buckfire.
