Developed by law professor Eric Muller of UNC-Chapel Hill, and presented by Aura Sunada Newlin, Lawyers in Justice, Lawyers’ Injustice is a 2-hour workshop where lawyers will consider the factors that led decent and talented lawyers to orchestrate, support, and defend a system of mass oppression - and the lessons that the mass incarceration of Japanese-American citizens during WWII still has for today's members of the legal profession.
