MILWAUKEE, -- Attorneys from in-house legal departments and minority and women owned law firms nationwide will soon gather in Chicago to discuss issues such as the impact of the economic downturn, litigation ethics in the electronic age and the rapid growth of class action lawsuits over wage and hour disputes.
