This is your democracy. Make it. Protect it. Pass it on. You are ready. Go to it.\u2019&nbsp; This advice is timeless.&nbsp; For law schools, lawyers, and law students, it is a moral imperative.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How the Consortium will work<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each law school will designate at least one student fellow to work with FLSCRJ every year.&nbsp; The fellows will collaborate with groups in Florida that have long pursued anti-racism initiatives. &nbsp;Examples of possible initiatives include changes to the process by which juveniles are charged as adults; attempts to end disparate criminal sentences on the basis of race; better regulation of public school resource officers; attempts to equalize funding across public school districts; disruption of the school-to-prison pipeline; ensuring Black-owned businesses have access to loans and state contracts; and the passage of local and state ordinances designed to achieve equal pay for equal work, among many other possibilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The law schools\u2019 current partners, including community foundations, non-profit groups, law firms, businesses, policy centers, art collectives, advocacy groups, educational entities, and bar associations, are already well placed to be part of this collaboration. The consortium also welcomes other interested organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Law student fellows will assist FLSCRJ\u2019s partners with legal research, policy reform, strategic advocacy, and ways to use language to resolve conflicts and improve society at large. Fellows will also undergo tailored training to model effective dialogue about race within each law school and across the state as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.miami.edu\/faculty\/anthony-e-varona\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Anthony E. Varona<\/a>, Dean and M. Minnette Massey Professor at the University of Miami School of Law, emphasized that FLSCRJ also \u201cwill spearhead or partner in the planning of educational gatherings, conferences, and scholarly symposia, convening scholars, students, and leading practitioners to discuss, devise, and propose legal reforms.\u201d &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why law schools must act<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 12 law schools in Florida understand that law schools\u2019 highest duty is to train intellectually strong and culturally competent lawyers who seek justice.&nbsp; Inherent in legal training is the expressed expectation that lawyers hold a special responsibility to denounce injustice, particularly in the state of Florida.&nbsp; The <a href=\"https:\/\/www-media.floridabar.org\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Ch-4-2020_10-APR-RRTFB-4-9-20.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Preamble<\/a> to chapter 4 of the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar states:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>\u201cA lawyer, as a member of the legal profession, is a representative of clients, an officer of the legal system, and a public citizen having special responsibility for the quality of justice . . . As a public citizen, a lawyer should seek improvement of the law, access to the legal system, the administration of justice, and the quality of service rendered by the legal profession.&nbsp; As a member of a learned profession, a lawyer should cultivate knowledge of the law beyond its use for clients, employ that knowledge in reform of the law, and work to strengthen legal education.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Law schools in Florida therefore have an obligation to teach students how to speak up when they see wrongs.&nbsp; FLSCRJ will emphasize lawyers\u2019 roles in advancing social justice and help law students develop the consciousness they need to speak out against inequalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe consortium will be an alliance in support of existing organizations, signaling that law schools are committed to joining the cause,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.ufl.edu\/faculty\/laura-rosenbury\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Laura A. Rosenbury<\/a>, Dean and Levin, Mabie &amp; Levin Professor at the University of Florida Levin College of Law.&nbsp; \u201cThe initiatives will also make our students stronger, and less myopic, lawyers.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s next<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FLSCRJ will begin by hosting a joint forum on the role of lawyers in crafting policies, advancing racial justice, and correcting social wrongs. &nbsp;With the help of community partners, the consortium will then identify three or four specific projects on which the student fellows will focus over the next year. Finally, FLSCRJ will partner with scholars interested in researching the legacies of Slavery and Jim Crow in Florida and their lingering vestiges today.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>12 Florida law school deans <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\"><li>Kevin Cieply, President &amp; Dean, Ave Maria School of Law<\/li><li>Leticia M.
