Description
Join LAGBAC, Chicago’s LGBTQ+ Bar Association, for a timely Pride Month CLE discussion with Professor Stacey Sobel, Associate Dean for Research & Faculty Development and Professor of Law at Western State College of Law.
This program uses the history and legal framework of the U.S. Civil Rights Movement as a lens to understand the development of LGBTQ+ equality and the continuing work required to build truly inclusive legal institutions and workplaces. Drawing on legal history, constitutional doctrine, and current events, Professor Stacey Sobel will examine how race-based civil rights advocacy and litigation strategies helped shape the trajectory of LGBTQ+ rights, and where those models have fallen short for people who live at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities.
The program will focus on how lawyers, judges, and legal organizations can foster diversity, equity, and inclusion in practice, with special attention to the lived experiences of LGBTQ+ people of color in the legal system and legal profession.
Attendance for all active LAGBAC members is FREE and we encourage you to attend. Once you have registered, you will receive a link to register your email address so you can receive the login credentials for the webcast.
