Come meet Justice Cheri Beasley, who is a trailblazer as one
of a handful of women of color to sit on a state supreme court and one of a few
who previously served as an assistant public defender. The program will
cover Justice Beasley's background, her path to the North Carolina Supreme
Court, and her expertise on juvenile justice. Attendees will be asked to
contribute a nominal amount of $15, which would go towards the ABA Justice Fund
(a 501(c)(3) non-profit). The donations will support the work of the
ABA's Standing Committee on Legal Aid and Indigent Defendants (SCLAID), which
explores ways to better improve the administration of justice as it affects low
income populations.
