The State of Race and the Law: Where We Are Now and Moving Forward Together

Encore program originally presented Wednesday, October 27, 2021

This program is a timely and important examination of the state of race and the law. The panelists will discuss where we are now and how our legal community can move forward together. The discussions will include examining the escalation of the challenges faced by minority communities with regard to engaging police assistance and reporting crimes, the rise of race-based violence, and access to the justice system. The panel will also discuss how our legal community can work together to identify, recognize and combat discrimination, including how to deconstruct dangerous stereotypes such as the model minority and the perpetual foreigner stereotypes. Attendees will greatly benefit from engaging in these important discussions and will learn how we can all work together to promote inclusiveness and combat discrimination.
