FEATURES 20 MCCA’S RISING STARS
These young attorneys are ready to take the reins of the legal profession. From Wall Street warriors to a medical patent attorney who earned medical and law degrees by age 27, these lawyers represent the brightest of the legal industry. The list includes in-house and outside counsel from all over the country. In ten years, it won’t be a surprise to see these attorneys in even more prominent roles. BY RYAN SIBLEY
32 The Value of Being Beautiful
Across ethnicities and industries, homely people are paid less than handsome workers. While beauty may offer a competitive edge, recent court cases show that it can be a double-edged sword. This nebulous region of employment law can solicit smirks or serious repercussions. MCCA examines beauty bias, and what the legal sector can and cannot do to combat it. BY DIANNE HAYES
