Experiential programs have historically focused on promoting social justice for marginalized communities; the fraught social dynamics nationwide make that work more important than ever. Our panelists will discuss how they incorporate diversity, equity, and inclusion principles into all aspects of their experiential programs. Topics will include the nature of “professionalism” in contemporary legal practice; how to promote public interest and social justice goals; and the role of experiential education within a larger academic mission of promoting DEI values.
