Race and Social Justice Committee

The Race and Social Justice Committee’s mission is to develop a multifaceted approach to advance justice for all, including:  

• Conducting a series of CLEs which will focus on education and specific actions that members of our legal community can take to help dismantle systems of oppression. Topics include Understanding Implicit and Explicit Bias in legal institutions
• Legal observer training
• Diversity and inclusion in hiring
• Jury selection and racial justice
• Racial discrimination in the Criminal Justice System, Housing, Education, and Healthcare
• Effective anti-racist ally-ship and advocacy
• Educating our communities of color through “Know Your Rights” workshops that include demonstration law, immigration law, housing law, voting rights and the criminal justice system. 
• Encouraging our members to support social justice organizations with their time and donation
