The work of civil rights lawyering is not short-term, it is long-term work. The final installment of the series, The Civil Rights Lawyer: Perspectives on the Profession, provides attendees with an opportunity to learn from speakers who have been at the forefront of civil rights work. Speakers include litigators, policymakers, academics, and others who will reflect upon lessons learned in their civil rights careers. Attendees asked questions of the speakers and garnered advice and counsel to fortify them to continue the long work of civil rights and social justice.
