#2493 Courtrooms, Classrooms, and Community: A Call to Civic Engagement

Presented on October 8, 2024 (Expires 10/8/29)

1.5 CLE credits: Areas of Professional Practice (appropriate for all attorneys)

When you applied to law school, you likely did so because you wanted to serve the public in some way. When you were sworn in as an attorney, you took an oath to “support the constitution.”  Now day-to-day practice might seem less lofty and ambitious. How can you serve your community and promote civics and rule of law outside the walls of your office?

Gary Crump, JD, will speak about his journey from law school to teaching social studies in the Buffalo Public Schools, and how lawyers can improve civics education locally. Our distinguished panelists will discuss how attorneys can encourage voting, serving on juries, and creating a diverse pipeline to the legal profession.

Moderator: Lauren E. Breen, Esq., President of the Bar Association of Erie County
