Please join us for the following upcoming event, co-hosted by the University of Idaho College of Law:

Advancing Equity in Practice  
Date: December 03, 2020  
Time: 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM
Location: https://uidaho.zoom.us/j/82356744639

The practice of law is one of the least diverse professions in the United States. The challenges of creating an inclusive law office environment continue. As legal professionals, we are called by our oaths to address pressing issues in our communities and make the practice of law better for current and future generations of lawyers. With this spirit in mind, we invite you to join us for a virtual evening CLE* event to discuss truths of racism in the practice of law in Idaho and pathways for increasing inclusion and diversity in our law office environments and the Bar at large. We encourage you to treat yourself to a “virtual” happy hour by having some snacks and a beverage of choice at the ready so you can both relax and engage in these important discussions. *CLE ethics credit pending. We will have four “circuits” during this webinar and are pleased to present the following topics and speakers: 1. Basics of Inclusion in Employment: Anna Courtney, Talent Development & Diversity Manager, Stoel Rives, LLP 2. Defining and Identifying Racism and Implicit Bias: Latonia Haney Keith, VP of High Impact Practices, College of Idaho 3. What it Means to Be Actively Anti-Racist: Emile Loza de Siles, Asst. Professor, Duquesne University School of Law 4. Equity vs. Equality in Practice: Natalie Camacho Mendoza, Director of Police Oversight, City of Boise For more information and to register online: Advancing Equity in Practice We hope to see you there!
