44 Philadelphia Bar Rep. 1 (2015)

Dandridge III received a warm ovation following his inaugural remarks on Dec. 9. Community Service, Help for Vets, Attorneys Top Dandridge's Agenda 1 By Jeff Lyons COMMUNITY SERVICE, PROMOTING programs to help veterans and enhanc- ing opportunities for all attorneys will be the cornerstones of Chancellor Albert S. Dandridge III's initiatives in leading the Philadelphia Bar Association, the decorated Marine Corps veteran said at the Dec. 9 Annual Meeting. Dandridge, a partner and chief diver- sity officer at Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis LLP recalled the work of Bernard G. Segal and Cecil B. Moore, two leg- endary attorneys who helped usher in a new sense of what it was to be a Phila- delphia Lawyer. I am reminded of when Attorney General William A. Schnader was joined in private practice by his Deputy Attor- ney General Bernie Segal. Bernie made a point of telling Gen. Schnader that he was a Jew, saying that: 'in eminent Phila- delphia law firms there are no Jews, and ... the firm with which you were con- nected is one of them.' General Schnader changed that. He started his own firm with Bernie Segal - a more diverse and inclusive firm. Hopefully, that type of tradition lives on, he said. Segal served as Chancellor of the Philadelphia Bar Association in 1952-1953. The struggles and challenges of women in this profession are well chron- icled. Some of those struggles continue, especially for women of color. In our law firms particularly, the results have been extremely disappointing. Knowing this history, I do not think that Bernie Segal would be proud of where we are today, Dandridge said. continued on page 17 January 2015 Diversity Action Plan Approved By Jeff Lyons THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS HAS APPROV- ed a Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan to ensure the Association fulfills its commitment to advancing diversity and inclusion in the legal profession.
