Recognizing 'Bro Culture' - Elimination of Bias - On Demand through 10/5/20

"Recognizing 'Bro Culture' & Other Barriers to Gender Inclusion in the Legal Industry" 

Sponsored by Lexvid

The issue of gender discrimination has received significant media attention over the course of the last several years vis-à-vis the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements, which highlighted long-standing issues of sexual harassment and pay discrimination in many organizations. In order to mitigate sex harassment in the workplace, employers need to take steps toward creating a professional environment where men and women feel welcomed to the same degree. A significant barrier to this type of inclusivity has been so-called “bro culture.” This is defined in various ways, but it is fundamentally an accepted culture of bias manifested in behaviors and decisions that support the exclusion of women in the organization, both socially and professionally. The legal industry is not immune to these issues. This program will inform attorneys on how a "bro culture" can be recognized in their workplace, and give practical instruction on how to break down these types of barriers if they exist.

Systemic Racism in the Death Penalty - October 1, 2020

A Fear of Too Much Justice: Confronting Systemic Racism in the Death Penalty.

Sponsored by The American Constitution Society

Half a century after Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart decried systemic racism in the administration of the death penalty, Black, Latinx, and Native American people continue to be disproportionately represented on the federal and state death rows.

And yet, for the past thirty years, the U.S. Supreme Court has thwarted efforts to challenge systemic racism in the death penalty based on what Justice William Brennan characterized as “a fear of too much justice.”

Join the American Constitution Society for an examination of the stark racial disparities in the death penalty and how they can be addressed at both the state and federal level. Our president, Russ Feingold, will provide opening remarks, and Liliana Segura, Senior Reporter for The Intercept, will moderate. Will you join us for this important conversation?
