About the Program
In a landmark decision, the Connecticut Supreme Court found that Hartford schools were racially and ethnically isolated in violation of Connecticut’s affirmative constitutional obligation to provide all children with racially integrated and substantially equal educational opportunities. Now almost 25 years later, please join the Young Lawyers Section, along with legal experts and members of the Sheff legal team, in a discussion about the underutilization of constitutional law in our legal community, the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in education, and the ongoing impact this case has on Connecticut’s educational system.
