National Black Law Journal 25th Anniversary Symposium
Regression Analysis: The Status of African Americans in American Legal Education
Featuring keynote speaker Derrick Bell and many other outstanding voices.
The National Black Law Journal cordially invites you to our 35th Anniversary Symposium. The symposium will feature three panels that seek to interrogate the factors related to African American access to legal education, the impact of the institutional environment on student oucomes and progress in the profession. More broadly, the program will reflect upon where African Americans stand in legal education and in the field, particularly in light of the 50th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education and the ongoing debate regarding affirmative action. This is an opportunity to hear from leaders in the areas of social justice and Critical Race Theory as well as contribute to a progressive discourse with students and practitioners.
