This session will explore the intersection between legal services and racial justice. It will begin with a discussion of the role of racial justice in legal aid work historically and the evolution of that role, particularly during this recent period of racial reckoning. A panel of experts will then discuss how legal aid attorneys, law students, and pro bono attorneys can use the civil legal system to continue fighting to dismantle systemic racism.
