How to Find, Request, and Use Race Data to Advance Your Client’s Position
When: Wednesday March 20, 2024 @ 2:30-4:30pm
Families of color ensnared in the family regulation system face multiple layers of systemic racism as they fight to keep their families intact. As practitioners endeavoring to challenge state oppression, it is vital to address racial bias and treatment as they manifest in each of our cases. Using statistical data and research that underscores existing racism can be powerfully persuasive when your client needs to address issues of race in the court room. This training will help you find, interpret, and use data on racial disparities and race-based research to further your advocacy. It will provide an overview of publicly available resources, explain how to read and interpret data, and review the process of requesting publicly held information. We hope to use the full two hours of this session to not only present information but allow participants to brainstorm through hypotheticals and use the tools they have learned in planning how to find and use case specific data.
NOTE: 2 CLE credit for each webinar for attorneys on each of the following panels: CAFL, CAFL Appeals.
