FEATURES 20 Lawyers in the Media
Court cases can galvanize public opinion like few other issues. They are a barometer that measures our society. Media coverage can distort the facts of a case. The role of legal affairs analysts is to present the facts as they emerge and inform citizens how the law applies in those instances. BY NIKI MITCHELL
28 The Legacy of John Payton
John Payton’s contribution to the practice of law is immeasurable. The prominent civil rights attorney was the lead counsel for the University of Michigan in defending its laws and undergraduate schools’ use of race in their admissions process. He handled the cases for more than six years, ultimately seeing the U.S. Supreme Court uphold the practice in Grutter v. Bollinger. BY PATRICK FOLLIARD
38 The Diversity Evolution
Diversity alone is no longer enough. Firms that are successfully retaining a diverse talent pool have figured out what employees are
really seeking—inclusion. BY DIANNE HAYES
