The program featured a recent article titled “Way to Represent: The Role of Black Lawyers in Contemporary American Democracy” by Carla Pratt, professor of law at Penn State University, the Dickinson School of Law. Professor Pratt‘s article, which was published earlier this year in Fordham Law Review, argues that black lawyers perform a unique role in modeling race-conscious lawyering, thereby enhancing the participatory dimension of citizenship for black citizens. The article is available at 77 Fordham L.Rev. 1409. [watch video]
