Law Deans Antiracist Clearinghouse Project

Thanks to the Association of American Law Schools and SJC Standing Committee on Lawyer Well-Being member, Dean Angela Onwuachi-Willig, for curating a webpage with resources to respond to racism in the United States.

Importantly, as stated on the webpage,

To engage as Antiracists, we must listen and learn from each other’s experiences, lead our communities by example, audit our schools to ensure progress toward racial equality (with an understanding that race cannot be neatly segregated from socioeconomic class), influence policy, and iterate our commitment to the fight for racial equality, all to demonstrate our resolve to eradicate racism in the United States.

We know well from studying lawyer well-being that the lack of diversity and inclusion in the profession has a significant impact on lawyer well-being. Engaging in this antiracist work is an essential component of our work to improve lawyer well-being.
