Learn about becoming a 2021-22 student member of one of the Austin Inns of Court! The Inns provide excellent opportunities for law students to meet and be mentored by local judges and practicing attorneys across a range of fields. Each Inn meets monthly, fall through spring.

Growing evidence regarding persistent disparities in school discipline poses serious implications about the impact of the educational experience for youth. Statewide, Black students in Texas are approximately two times more likely to experience in-school suspensions (I.S.S.), nearly three times more likely to experience out-of-school suspensions (O.S.S) and are admitted to either alternative or juvenile justice education programs at higher rates than white students. Join IUPRA’s moderated panel discussion around this issue with a focus on equity and school- community solutions.

Moderator: Brion Oaks, Chief Equity Officer, City of Austin

Panelists:

Kevin Foster Ph.D., School Board Member, Austin Independent School District
