The theme for the American Bar Association's Civil Rights and Social Justice Section (CRSJ) 22-23 Bar Year is economic justice, fundamental to civil rights and social justice. This two-day Summit will cover issues such as guaranteed income, taxes and debt, housing, and the racial wealth gap. During the Summit, lawyers, activists, policymakers, and key stakeholders will formulate policy solutions to the nation's most critical economic disparities and devise strategies to implement such policy solutions.
As the American Bar Association (ABA)’s only membership entity exclusively dedicated to the advancement of human rights, civil liberties, and social justice, we seek to understand the role that lawyers can play in the pursuit of economic justice. A detailed agenda with program descriptions and speakers is available here.
The Economic Justice Summit is open to both in-person and virtual attendees, so please choose accordingly during the registration process. This event is complimentary and open to the public. Please share word of this event widely with your colleagues and networks.
