We are back in the Lounge this week with two very special guests to talk about multicultural lawyering. Professor Kimberly O'Leary and Dean Mable Martin-Scott of Western Michigan Cooley Law School created a course and wrote a book dedicated to learning and understanding the concept of multicultural lawyering. In part one of this two-part conversation, we focus on the definition and contours of multicultural lawyering, what it means to teach and work through concepts of multicultural lawyering, and the exercises they have found to be the most impactful for students. Dean Martin-Scott and Professor O'Leary share what they have learned along the way, and our host, Krystal Norton, expresses what she has learned through even just this short conversation with these scholars.
