Critical Race Theory with The Honorable Angela C. Robinson 
Friday, October 23, 12-12:45 pm

The Honorable Angela C. Robinson (Ret.) will offer an introduction to Critical Race Theory, examining the effect of race on the development and practice of law – and why it is important for law students. In teaching law, Judge Robinson draws heavily on her 20 years of experience as a Connecticut Superior Court judge, as well as acquired knowledge as a practicing lawyer, both before becoming a judge, and since having retired from the bench in 2018. She also worked as litigation partner with Wiggin and Dana and served as the firm’s first chief diversity officer.   Currently, in addition to teaching at Quinnipiac Law, she is a consultant to law firms and legal organizations regarding diversity, inclusion, and equity.
