‘Pictures in My Head’: Black Law Deans Take on Racism in Legal Ed

Jun 19, 2020

On this week's podcast, Law.com legal education editor Karen Sloan talks with two black law deans about a new initiative to mobilize law schools and their communities in the fight for racial equality. Angela Onwuachi-Willig, dean of Boston University School of Law, and Danielle Conway, dean of Penn State Dickinson Law, explain what spurred the Law Deans Antiracist Clearinghouse Project, the change they want to see in the legal academy, and the five phases of work they've laid out to help create greater racial equality inside their institutions and beyond.
