AAJ Minority Caucus

Purpose & Goals

The Minority Caucus is responsible for recommending and developing education and networking programs as well as other activities of special interest to members of color in the Association. The Caucus helps to develop programs to stimulate minority membership and participation in leadership roles. The Caucus also actively seeks to work on joint programs with other AAJ Sections and special interest groups.
