Changing The World, One Legal Education At A Time [Hybrid]
Friday November 1, 2024 10:30am - 12:00pm CDT
Skipworth Ballroom
Our panel will consist of diverse legal education professionals and law students with lived experience addressing the barriers, opportunities, and realities of accessing a legal education as members of diverse underrepresented populations. Framed by issues of persistent inaccessibility, the panel will share the unique challenges they encountered while applying to and attending law school. Furthermore, each panel member will deconstruct how the barriers they’ve encountered influenced their career trajectories following graduation. In addition to their stories, Dean Panarella and Dean Quinn will share administrator perspectives on outcomes of programs and support for underrepresented populations unique to their school and where they see opportunity for improvement.

John Quinn, Assistant Dean of Public Interest, UMASS Law
Daniella D'Arcangelo 3L, Treasurer, UMASS Law NLG Chapter
Liz West, 3L, Secretary, UMASS Law NLG Chapter
Rebecca Wood, 2L, President, UMASS Law NLG Chapter
