The Anti-Racist Courtroom: Theory and Practice
October 30, 2023 to November 2, 2023
Montgomery, AL

This is a course for every judge, court administrator or lawyer who wants to take proactive steps to ensure that their courtroom is anti-racist. Judges across the country grapple daily with how to ensure the scales of justice are balanced while working to end systematic racism in our judicial system. This course, incorporating embodied experience along with jurisprudence, is about eliminating systemic racism by taking practical steps in your own court to prevent unfair outcomes based on race. The curriculum includes history, experiential learning, cognitive science, and psychological and sociological research. Special arrangements have been made for one entire day of the course to take place at the Equal Justice Initiative Museum and Memorial. Participants will also visit Selma, Alabama.
