Our failure to include any name herein is, in fact, a result of the
inherently impossible challenge to include all deserving names. There
are, in fact, more names than be reasonably placed on this page. Unfortunately,
time and prudence does not allow us to account for every successful
lawyer of African American descent. Several upstanding examples can
be seen in your serving your local legal community. From the Prosecutor
or District Attorney, to the Defense Counsel, Civil Litigator, City
Council Member, Non-Profit Director, School Superintendent, Municipal
Court Judge, Circuit Court Judge, Administrative Law Judge, JAG Corp.
Officer, etc., etc., etc. In honor of those individuals, we have instead
elected to create a listing of other prominent Black Attorneys.
