Professor Suja Thomas participated in a panel discussion at the American Constitution Society (ACS) Annual Student Convention at Northwestern University on March 10th. The panel, "Key Actors in Breaking Barriers to Justice," highlighted the role of state court judges, legal aid organizations, state and federal agencies, law firms, scholars, and public policy advocates in removing barriers to justice. The group also discussed how their work intersects with other legal and non-legal actors, the importance of collaboration, and how students can become involved in the fight for justice and equity. Panelists also included Cara Hendrickson (Office of the Illinois Attorney General), David Lopez (Outten & Golden LLP), and Katherine W. Shank (LAF), and was moderated by the Honorable Mary Jane Theis of the Illinois Supreme Court.
