In the wake of the #MeToo movement, courts, law firms, and
the academy are taking a serious look at how they address workplace conduct,
including bullying and sexual harassment. Law firms are improving their
practices for addressing the complex issues surrounding harassment. The federal
judiciary is revising its ethics codes, stepping up training, and revamping its
procedures for investigating complaints. Law schools are engaging with their
students on this issue like never before. The key challenges remain the
significant power disparities and the chilling effect of reporting. Law schools
are in a unique position to serve as a bridge between students and the greater
legal community to help reduce these risks. This panel will discuss practical
and novel ways that law schools can partner with the courts and the legal
community to address these issues. This discussion will also include the
important voice of someone who has experienced sexual harassment.
