The two-day McDowell Legal Forum (in memory of EEAC's late General Counsel Douglas S. McDowell) brings together member company in-house lawyers in a confidential setting where they share information, ideas, experiences, and strategies. Some company nonlawyers with broad, corporate EEO responsibilities also find the forums to be of considerable value. The Legal Forum provides a unique opportunity for free and open discussion that allows participants to learn from their colleagues at other member companies. All discussions are off the record. Updates on recent EEO-related legal developments are presented by EEAC staff and each attendee receives an extensive CD of helpful resource materials drawn from EEAC memoranda, court decisions, briefs, enforcement agency pronouncements, and information supplied by participants.
