Ep. 29 - O'Leary and Martin-Scott - Multicultural Lawyering (Part 2)

The conversation on Multicultural Lawyering continues this week here at the Law School Lounge. Professor Kimberly O'Leary and Dean Mable Martin-Scott of Western Michigan Cooley Law School are back with our host, Krystal Norton, to talk more about their experiences with multicultural lawyering while providing suggestions and tips for our listeners who are new to or continuing the journey. These two experts discuss measuring implicit bias, challenging bias, respectful discourse, and overcoming your assumptions. Throughout their conversation, both professors mention different resources and some are linked below for your continued learning about these incredibly important topics.
