Racial Equity In Our Justice System: What Does It Look Like And What Are We Doing To Ensure It?

Please join us for the NAWJ Fairness and Access Committee’s next installment in a series dedicated to highlighting the role of race and ethnicity in our justice system.  This webinar will focus on the ways in which race and ethnicity are interconnected with access to justice, and, in light of the social justice movement which was re-energized by the death of Mr. George Floyd, specific steps courts are taking to identify and remedy racial and ethnic inequity.  

Our distinguished panelists are: Hon. Cheri Beasley, Former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of North Carolina; Hon. Anna Blackburne-Rigsby, Chief Judge of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals; Hon. Tani Cantil-Sakauye, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of California; and Hon. Vanessa Ruiz, Senior Judge of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. 

Participants will learn:

• Ways in which racial inequity can manifest itself in our judicial system today; and 
• Specific steps courts are taking to identify and remedy this inequity.
