A Legal History of Whiteness

This MCLE workshop will deal with the recognition and elimination of bias by discussing the legal and social history of whiteness and how this impacts us today on a legal, economic, social, and spiritual level. We will also focus on implicit bias and share bias-reducing strategies that can address how unintended biases regarding race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, or other characteristics undermine confidence in the legal system. After setting up a framework for how whiteness developed during early periods of settler colonialism in the United States, we will look at how legal rulings have upheld those notions of whiteness and its relationships with protecting white property, wealth, and power structures. We will also share our thoughts about how the legal profession as an institution perpetuates white supremacy and some ideas about what we can do about it. We will also hold space for a discussion about how our own consciousness around whiteness and white supremacy culture shape our workplaces and lives. Bringing the historical and the spiritual together, we will imagine how we could exist beyond the systems of white supremacy, starting with our daily interactions with out clients, in our workplaces, and elsewhere, and how we are already doing it.
