This program will feature a
keynote address from Dr. Artika Tyner, a lawyer, educator, and the author of the
award-winning book The Lawyer as Leader: How to Plant People and Grow
Justice*. Dr. Tyner will discuss tangible ways lawyers and law students can
use their legal skills to advocate for change in Black and other marginalized
communities. After the keynote address, participants will move to breakout
sessions where they will meet representatives from various local organizations
engaged in assisting communities in need. Participants will learn how they can
use their skills, position, and authority to assist these organizations. We hope
participants will leave motivated and with concrete action items for how they
can assist in bringing about change in our communities.
*Some
participants will receive a free copy of the book The Lawyer as Leader: How to
Plant People and Grow Justice
