Our next installment of the Racial Justice Series is designed to give perspective on how a person’s race and lived experience affect their legal case. We will explore ways in which attorneys and advocates can better assist their clients of color by understanding the full context in which their legal matter arises, approaching cases with cultural humility, and recognizing and working to overcome the power differential inherent in legal representation.
To give context to our discussion, we will briefly review some of the results from the SPENT exercise. Please take a few minutes to participate in this thought-provoking exercise prior to the panel so that you can share some of your experiences.
