The Economic Justice Summit of the American Bar Association Section of Civil Rights and Social Justice began with a morning welcome and overview from Section Chair Juan R.

This event was a part of CRSJ’s hybrid Economic Justice Summit — held on March 30-31, 2023 — the Section held its Economic Justice Summit at the Georgetown University Law Center. Continuing with CRSJ’s 22-23 Bar Year theme of economic justice, this two-day Summit convened lawyers, activists, policymakers, and key stakeholders to formulate policy solutions to our country’s most critical economic disparities and devise strategies to implement such policy solutions.
