The Forum: Speaking Up and Speaking Out

Raising issues of identity and difference whether they be about race, class, gender, sexuality, disability, or anything else can be difficult for students in a law school classroom. Advocates -- lawyers for people and causes -- often face similar difficulties. This Forum begins with statements from students about the personal and institutional barriers to speaking out, then turns to a panel of experts who will address strategies for speaking out in the classroom and the connection between raising issues of difference -- and difficult issues generally -- in the classroom and as an effective legal advocate. As usual, there will be lots of time for further questions from the room
