Native American Wellness Project

Meet Carson Smith, JD '25 (BA '19),
a Knight-Hennessy scholar, who co-founded the Native American Graduate Student Wellness Coalition.

Prompted by Leah Goodridge’s recent essay in the UCLA Law Review which “examines professionalism as a tool to subjugate people of color in the legal field,” this discussion illuminates how racial hierarchy and inequity operates within the legal professionalism context—not only for attorneys and paralegals but also for those participating in the legal process. Please join the Deborah L. Rhode Center on the Legal Profession, the Stanford Center for Racial Justice, and the John and Terry Levin Center for Public Service and Public Interest Law for a thought-provoking conversation with Leah, Misasha Suzuki Graham, and Professor Ron Tyler, moderated by Professor Richard Ford.
