For several years now, this program has provided you with considerations about Indigenous experiences in and with law, with an EDI lens. This year we continue to explore how you can meet your Indigenous clients' needs, and also turn our focus to Indigenous legal professionals. From starting law school or paralegal college, to advancing in their careers, our speakers discuss how Indigenous legal professionals can be encouraged and welcomed in our professions. Join us for this year's thought-provoking presentations and revealing conversations in an ongoing dialogue about important issues.
