The Federal Bar Association, Eastern District of Michigan Chapter, is one of the co-sponsors of the Civil Rights Etouffee, the signature CLE event produced by the national FBA’s Civil Rights Law section.
Typically hosted in New Orleans, this year’s event will take place online Thursday and Friday, January 28-29, while doing its best to preserve a NOLA “state of mind.”
Topics to be discussed by various panels will be “Enhancing Justice: Ethnically Reducing Bias in Policing and the Courts,” “When Exemptions Become the Rule: LGBTQ Rights and Religious Exemptions,” “Back to the Future:?Artificial Intelligence &?Civil Rights,” “Making it Right: Vulnerable Kids, Education, and COVID-19,” “Title IX in the Era of #metoo,” and “What is Environmental Justice?”
Among those on the panels will be local legal professionals Jennifer Lord, of Pitt, McGehee, Palmer, Bonanni, & Rivers PC, and Wayne State University Law School Prof. Christopher Lund.
Members of the FBA Eastern District of Michigan Chapter can attend the event for free; non-chapter members pay $150. To register, visit www.fedbar.org/event/etouffee21. For additional information, email civilrightssection@fedbar.org.
