This timely and important discussion: #MeToo, UsToo. Can Lawyers Take the Lead? took place at the ACS 2018 convention on Friday, June 8.

The impact of the viral #MeToo campaign has revealed the pervasiveness of sexual assault, harassment, and misconduct on campuses, in the media, and in every workplace, including the legal profession. Panelists will reflect on how the movement has empowered women and others vulnerable to this type of abuse to come forward and share their stories. They will also discuss concerns about visibility and retaliation, how the legal profession can take a leadership role in enacting change, and the challenges that remain.
