Ep. 224: Law Student Fellows Take On Systemic Racism

How do you eliminate systemic racism in the legal system? This year, 12 law students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities took part in a Lexis fellowship aimed at tackling that very big question. Three of the fellows join Pro Say this week to talk about projects they worked on, with ideas ranging from a new way for law school admissions officers to evaluate candidates, to a safe space for minority attorneys to voice concerns, to a corporate-backed bail fund to address inequalities exacerbated by the cash-bail system.
