The Barristers Club held its 6th Annual Diversity reception in August where Marie Ma and Na’il Benjamin were recognized for their efforts to increase awareness of diversity issues in the Bay Area legal community.

Ma, Corporate Counsel and Director of Global Equity Administration at Gap Inc., serves as chair and has a long standing involvement with the Justice & Diversity Center’s (JDC) Mock Trial program. She has also volunteered with JDC’s Destination Law School and she has also done pro bono work through JDC’s Family Law Project and its Community Organization Representation Project.

Benjamin, a former big firm lawyer and San Francisco Deputy City Attorney, recently launched his own practice, the Benjamin Law Group. He currently sits on JDC’s Pipeline Programs Advisory Committee and he is also the chair of JDC’s School-To-College (STC) Program.
