Session Description
How can doctors and lawyers work to achieve social change that advances racial justice? Many legal and medical professionals are drawn to their work from a goal of service and community impact. Many of the methods for instructing and training medical and law students as well as entrenched systems of inequity can shift that focus. New models in training lawyers to serve communities, develop critical analyses to support social movements, and understand how discrimination and trauma impact the lives of clients provide an interesting focal point to discuss how doctors and lawyers can meet the racial justice reckoning that is calling for a new paradigm. Doctors’ patients and racial justice lawyers’ clients confront social determinants that impact their health, their ability to exercise their civil rights, and to access life-sustaining programs and services. The current the experiences of discrimination and violence for Asian Americans, Pacific Island Americans, South Asian Americans, and Southeast Asian Americans provide an example of how entrenched racism and systemic failures call for medical and legal professionals to bring their expertise to move beyond racial justice performance.
Education Goals
- Provide an overview of approach to effective lawyering within social movements, communities of color, and to provide trauma-informed, client-centered service.
- Locate commonalities across medical and legal professions to share learning and knowledge of effective practice.
- Ground conversation within historical and current experience of violence and discrimination by Asian Americans, Pacific Island Americans, South Asian Americans, and Southeast Asian Americans.
