Radical Lawyering in the Age of Trump.
Progressive lawyering under the Trump regime will bring new challenges, and intensification of old ones. The Trump administration has already passed several oppressive policies targeting minority groups – two travel bans targeting Muslims, expansion of ICE enforcement, repeal of Title IX guidance for transgender students, promises to expand private prisons, and more. With these threats looming and becoming reality, this panel will discuss radical lawyers’ responsibilities in safeguarding legal rights, resisting the growing power of an authoritarian regime, and supporting grassroots movements who are protesting and fighting state violence in the streets. Panelists will include:
• Nebula Li, Community Activism Law Alliance
• Joey Mogul, People’s Law Office
• Samoane Williams, First Defense Legal Aid
• Liz Ward, Moderator, DePaul International Human Rights Law Institute
Food will be served.
DePaul University College of Law is an accredited CLE provider. This event has been approved for 1.5 CLE credit.
