Law Day 2021 Review Lizzie Riter, Chair

Lizzie Riter, Chair

Thank you all so much for joining the Tulsa County Bar Foundation’s Law Day Symposium on April 30, 2021! Our first ever Zoom Law Day was incredible. Each speaker provided insightful instructions into the way our words and actions have a significant impact. Tom Vincent and Candice Pace got the morning started by helping us see and understand the ways our language can unintentionally exclude and offend those we are often trying to reach out and help. Next up, Dana and Keith Culter kept the conversation going with a presentation about macro-aggressions and ways to do some internal work to be an ally. Our Law Day Symposium closed out with a special presentation by Phil Armstrong and Hannibal Johnson on the history of the Tulsa Race Massacre and the future of the Greenwood District. We are so grateful for the work they are doing in our community. Lastly, Law Day would not be complete with recognizing the work of those in our community. This year’s Law Day award winners are Justin Jones, Sheila Naifeh, and Candince Pierce. Thank you to our platinum sponsors, Gable Gotwals and Graves McCLain, and to everyone else that donated. We raised over $5,000 for the University of Tulsa’s College of Law Buck Colbert Franklin Legal Clinic.
