This bowl was originally created for black attorneys in big law, but since it’s the only bowl for black attorneys, many black attorneys in other sectors have joined. Some people are apprehensive about starting another bowl for all black attorneys because it will take away from this bowl. Assuming that the conversations & topics will stay the same, What are you thoughts on keeping this bowl solely for black in big law verses Opening this bowl to any black lawyer?

Honestly, I've never given any thought to whether someone was a big law attorney or not. Our blackness can relate to each other whether working at Skadden or a public defender

It doesn't really bother me that not everyone in here is technically in "big law." Honestly, I like the diversity and what everyone individually brings to the table. I say leave things as they are.

I think there will probably still be a lot of crossover in discussion topics, so might as well keep it more inclusive for now.

There are so few of us I think it's fine if we're all in here together. As ED1 said, some people leave and come back, and as long as everyone feels like they have space to interact in here I think it's great.

I think this bowl should be open to all black lawyers. Kinda crazy to segregate those in big law from other sectors. It feels a bit classist. There are only 5% of us in this field so surely most of our experiences will overlap.

Leave it. Some folks start off in big law and exit into smaller firms, leave the practice of law (like banking, consulting & in house in non legal) or some who start off in a smaller firm and move into big law. Like someone says, there are cross overs and it provides alternative perspectives.

I think we expand!

I’m a late 40’s, 3rd year Partner in Big4 who joined as a DEMD after 2 decades in industry. I’m weighing an offer to join another Firm - it’s a straight comp play for 30% higher Comp for a similar role. I realize that the BS is mostly the same at all B4, so I don’t think for a second the grass is greener. But the comp is nice, and I’m not vested enough to lose much money. Did anyone here make a similar jump to another Firm, and in the end, was it a genius move, or did you come to regret it?
