The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee of the Oakland County Bar Association will present “Not Just Being ‘Woke’: A Practical Primer on Pronouns” on Thursday, June 16, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the OCBA offices, 1760 South Telegraph Road, Suite 100, in Bloomfield Hills.
This seminar will explore various updates in pronoun usage from within the court, the classroom and communities. Whether a member of the judiciary, lawyer, or law student, this presentation is a need-to-know topic and helps to further advance the understanding of all members of the legal community and clients.
Topics of discussion will include:
• Proper pronoun usage and the reasoning for each use
• Updates and perspectives within the queer community as it impacts the legal profession
• Techniques for addressing these topics with colleagues and clients
Speaking at the seminar will be Amanda J. Shelton, Shelton & Deon Law Group; Annie Schuver, University of Michigan Law School; Reginald Stewart, University of Michigan Law School; and moderator Kristina A. Bilowus, Michigan State University College of Law.
