Greetings:
For three days in February of
2005, a small gathering of legal educators, students, and
staff members assembled at the University of Florida. The
participants considered how race affects legal education
and how to make race more salient in the law school curriculum.
The conversations were rich, the insights were deep, and
the promise of change was palpable.
This inaugural meeting, the Race
and Law Curriculum Workshop, was organized by the University
of Florida’s Center for the Study of Race and Race
Relations.
We are pleased to provide you
with the proceedings from this conference. This material
is divided into two volumes. The first volume includes the
opening plenary address, summaries of the breakout sessions,
and invited papers. The second volume includes a bibliography
of material on race and legal education and a collection
of race and law syllabi.
We welcome your feedback. We hope
you will join us in this important work.
Sincerely,
Katheryn Russell-Brown
Professor of Law & Director,
Center for the Study of Race and Race Relations
