The ABA is hosting a program this week featuring a panel of six trailblazing Black judges who will discuss the obstacles they have overcome in the legal profession. Judge Bernice Donald of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit, and the first Black female judge in Tennessee, will be among the panelists in the program titled, “Judicial Trailblazers and the Hills They've Climbed: A Discussion with Preeminent African-American Judges and Their Challenges and Triumphs.” Howard University School of Law Dean Danielle R. Holley-Walker will moderate the panel, which will take place on Friday from 11 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. CST. The event is free and registration is now open.
