The Tennessee State Supreme Court’s Access to Justice Commission will hold a virtual event on Friday to discuss America’s reckoning with race. The program will look at America’s long history with race and evaluate that history through the words of the U.S. Supreme Court, evaluate racial buzz phrases, and discuss how best to move toward racial reconciliation. The program is available to all participants in the legal system, including judges, lawyers, court clerks and court personnel, mediators, advocates, law school faculty and law students, court interpreters, court reporters, members of court boards and commissions and other stakeholders. Registration is required but is free. Brooklyn Sawyers Belk, legal counsel for Lyft, will moderate the discussion.
