-
An interactive CLE program about the systems, attitudes, stereotypes and actions that uphold white supremacy and prevent true inclusion – from the client to the law student to the courtroom and beyond. Engage in real time discussions about white supremacy with a panel of attorneys and Regina Jackson & Saira Rao, authors of New York Times Bestseller “White Women: Everything You Already Know About Racism and How to Do Better” and subjects of the documentary “Deconstructing Karen.”
During this live webcast, moderators and the panel will dive into:
- It’s All About the Money: How generational wealth impacts the work you do.
- The Violence of your Silence: How your silence undermines the integrity of the law.
- Your MACROaggressions: How microaggressions impact your Black, Indigenous and non-Black colleagues of color.
- The Pro-Bono Savior: The saviorism in pro-bono work and how to transform the client experience.
- The Call to Action: Building accountability through compensation, advancement, and real-world consequences.
Purchase of the book “White Women: Everything You Already Know About Your Own Racism And How To Do Better” is not required for this CLE program, however we encourage attendees to read or listen to the book in advance. It is also available at libraries online and in-person, including the New York Public Library.
