SALT is defending affirmative action by urging members of Congress for oversight of the Department of Education, offering resources to advocates, and joining with others to assure that the next generation of lawyers reflects the rich diversity of this country.

 

Without a commitment to diversity, how will the next generation of lawyers be prepared to create a more just world?

SALT's "Teaching for Social Change" conference was held on March 14 & 15, 2008, at University of California at Berkeley, Thelton E. Henderson Center for Social Justice. 150 people attended this conference. Go to Conferences to learn more and to find resources to teach for social change.
