The Intersectionality Between Race, Poverty and the Criminal Justice System
As persistent and staggering disparities continue in our criminal justice system for people of color, the intersectionality of poverty adds another layer of complexity to be unraveled. Despite less overall representation in the general population, Black Americans are incarcerated in state prisons at nearly five times the rate of white Americans. Latinx individuals are incarcerated in state prisons at a rate that is 1.3 times the incarceration rate of whites. Join our esteemed panelists for a dialogue on the intersectionality of race, poverty and the criminal justice system. As we understand the causes and destructive consequences, key take-aways will include what our legal community can do to foster and effectuate change for both the policies, as well as the day-to-day practices that drive these inequalities and disparities systemwide.

From the time we first entered law school, we were taught how to “think like a lawyer”. Although this unique thinking style can be a valuable asset, if not properly managed, it can also lead to major impairments in emotional well-being, healthy relationships, cognitive performance and (counterintuitively) professional competence. During this program, you will learn to identify and overcome the thinking patterns that enslave the legal industry, so you can tap into your best and happiest self, optimize your resiliency and performance under pressure, and maximize your thriving in career and life!
