News reports in recent weeks have described instances of social and business discrimination against Asian-Americans.  In a statement released in April, six bar associations, led by the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association, said “Treating others differently, bullying, and avoiding people and their businesses because they are Asian or Pacific Islander is unacceptable. This disease does not discriminate. Discrimination distracts from the problem before us, and only perpetuates unfounded stereotypes.”  NAPABA invited law firms, state and local bar associations, and other organizations to join its effort to Stand Against Hate.  Alterman Law Group is proud to have signed on.
