The 2008 Law Firm Diversity Report presented by the Minority Bar Associations of Washington Joint Committee on Law Firm Diversity (JCLFD) has ranked COJK as one of the most diverse firms in Washington.
The Firm is ranked No. 1 in:
- Highest Percentage of Racial and Ethnic Minority Attorneys

The Questionnaire sought detailed demographic information regarding the racial/ethnic, gender, sexual orientation, and disability status of attorneys and summer associates in the law firms that were surveyed.
Jerry Nagae, COJK's Managing Partner, said: "COJK has always believed in the power of a diverse workforce, which has shaped our approach in the way we think, work, and behave."
