A new seminar series developed by the State Bar of Michigan’s Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Committee aims to raise awareness about aspects of the justice system that disproportionately affect certain groups. Barriers in the Profession, the first program in the Critical Conversations series, will examine obstacles—physical and otherwise— that people with disabilities face while navigating our legal system. This one-hour discussion will be held via Zoom and feature a panel of experts and an open forum for participants. Barriers in the Profession is presented in collaboration with the Disabilities subcommittee of SBM’s Elder Law & Disability Rights Section and Legal Aid of Western Michigan.
