Pub. Info: NACLE 2025
Study Program Note: Current / Access to Justice
NACLE CLE : 1.0 Access to Justice CLE Credits. Expires 06/05/28
The legal profession stands at a critical juncture as it grapples with the rapidly changing dynamics of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). This CLE course offers a comprehensive examination of how DEI initiatives are being reevaluated and reshaped in light of the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decisions on affirmative action. Attendees will explore how these rulings—and broader challenges to DEI emerging from the Trump administration era—are influencing policies, practices, and priorities within law firms and legal institutions. The course will highlight how firms are adapting to heightened scrutiny while striving to uphold commitments to diversity and inclusion. Additionally, the session will feature a detailed discussion of key court decisions where DEI-related issues played a central role. These cases will serve as a lens for examining the practical and ethical considerations that now confront legal professionals working to integrate DEI into their organizational frameworks.

Injustice on Trial: The Scottsboro Boys and the Struggle Against Jim Crow
Call Number:
Pub. Info: NACLE 2025
Study Program Note: Current / Access to Justice
Event ID : 129580
In 1931, in the depths of the Great Depression, when thousands of Americans “hopped boxcars,” and rode the freight rails around the county in search of work, camping in “hobo jungles” that grew up around railroad yards, nine black teenagers, mostly in their late teens, one only thirteen years old, found themselves accused of a crime that later trials would show beyond a shadow of a doubt had never occurred. The case was no doubt similar to many others that took place in the Jim Crow South, some ending in lynchings, others in what amounted in judicial lynchings. The “Scottsboro Boys,” as unlucky as they were to be accused, were more fortunate than many others whose stories never became known to a wider public. Their cases became an international cause célèbre. The case, in some ways, did not end until 2013, when the state of Alabama posthumously exonerated all nine of the Scottsboro defendants. This CLE course will recount the dramatic trial in which defense attorney Samuel Leibowitz of New York, often referred to at the time as the “next Clarence Darrow,” demolished the prosecution’s case. It will review the three trips to the Supreme Court occasioned by the Scottsboro trials, including the landmark decision in Norris v. Alabama, which found Alabama’s exclusion of black citizens from the jury rolls to be in violation of the 14th Amendment. Finally, it will briefly explore how, from colonial times to the 1930’s, racial prejudice was exploited as a tool for blunting class conflict among whites and deflecting economic grievance, and class-based resentment, onto the African-American minority.

Implicit Bias and DEI Today: Challenges & Opportunities
Call Number:
Pub. Info: NACLE 2024
Study Program Note: Current / Access to Justice
All human beings including lawyers have implicit biases. Indeed, such biases result from natural biochemical processes and reactions in the human brain. Knowing the science of implicit bias enhances our understanding of reactive human behavior while also providing key indicators to avoid significant liability outcomes. This CLE course, presented by Professor Bruce Adelson, will include his scholarship at Georgetown University School of Medicine and University of Pittsburgh School of Law. He will focus on the intersection of microaggressive behavior, hostile comments, and bias responses and the impact to the legal profession. Professor Adelson will demonstrate how such conduct can create legal liability and worsen outcomes for clients, patients, customers, coworkers, and more. He will use various court cases and EEOC complaints because such decisions involving clearly deleterious behavior inform the greater discussion about bias and discrimination. We will address DEI commitments and the current trend of challenging DEI programs in higher education and business. Professor Adelson reveals how diverse, tolerant workplace are often more productive and more profitable than their alternatives, while also discussing potential responses to DEI lawsuits and federal agency investigations.
