Golden Conclave

The Golden Conclave was an internal but secret administrative organization for Lewis and Clark, which functioned as the main executive organism for corporative and law directives regarding internal and foreign estrategies.

Regardless of this, the organization's secrecy was of vital importance for the implementation of low-profile restructuring measures against other Firm's main governing bodies.

Albeit the over-extended international legal war with Zurich-based Lorenz law firm headed by Karl Lorenz at the time, the Golden Conclave was secretly and carefuly scouting ahead fo new prominent lawyers, which by certain standards, were strictly selected by their relatively young age and outstanding academic profile, respectively. An unknown Conclave's member was sent to University of Aberdeen's Main Campus located in Scotland in order to promote...

it is on record that Golden Conclave itself selected Albion from her respective college promotion due to her complex intellect and outstanding academic profile, which was proven and seen by its members during her own practicum and intership by 1979 and 1980 respectively.
