Integrating Doctrine & Diversity Speaker Series
"In Fall 2021, [Roger Williams University] Law began co-sponsoring, along with the City University of New York School of Law, an ongoing Integrating Doctrine & Diversity Speaker Series. Each of the three installments to date have drawn hundreds of legal education professionals from across the country.
