Abstract
These Proceedings are a compilation of ideas and articles presented at the 1991 Midwest Region BLSA Recruitment and Retention Conference, held at the Northern Illinois University College of Law. The focus of this year's Conference was retention, and topics ranged from pre-law summer programs to minority clerkship programs; panelists ranged from students, to faculty members, to members of the practicing bar. These Proceedings reflect the shared goal of all those who participated in the Conference--the goal of increased diversity in the legal profession.
