This program focuses on ways to structure
inter-professional opportunities for law students to engage with students and professionals
from other disciplines through a social justice lens. The program will explore
how to promote and facilitate holistic problem identification, problem-solving
and advocacy from a variety of disciplinary lenses and perspectives. Participants
will learn how faculty can engage in research, service, and teaching to develop
lawyers who can work across disciplines in pursuit of justice. This type of
bridge-building is critical, in light of the many barriers to justice for the
most vulnerable among us. The panel will explore how we can benefit from moving
out of our silos and working with other professionals who share our social
justice vision and aims.
Business Meeting will be held during the section luncheon on Thursday, January 4, 2019 from 12:15 - 1:30 pm.
