Join us as we spotlight the critical importance of young lawyers’ meaningful involvement at every level of government, including a discussions with DeRay McKesson, co-founder of CampaignZero, and Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford.
Civic Engagement - SummitAaron Ford, Gurbir Grewal, Keith Ellison, and Kwame Raoul discuss their career paths as people of color, how they are addressing racial disparities in the criminal justice system, the policies they have enacted or want to enact to counteract systemic racism, and the efforts made to restore the public’s confidence in our legal system.
This CLE features a conversation with attorneys who have forged paths in areas of the law with low representation, like alternative dispute resolution, property law, and environmental law.

This Men of Color presentation, in conjunction with Thomson Reuters, explores an effective and often overlooked leadership technique with significant, real-world implications: embracing vulnerability as a strength.
