Ms. Navarro Kresse and Dr. Young will discuss the foundational concepts of Targeted Universalism and lead participants through a client advice request scenario, engage in issue spotting, and discuss potential advice and options that include use of the Targeted Universalism Framework. This foundation is necessary for attorneys to use the core concepts in Targeted Universalism to help promote equity while engaging in legal work such as litigation, policy development, and options-based advice. This will also help attorneys understand how to provide advice to and defend clients who use Targeted Universalism in their agency operations. Ms. Coskey will discuss operationalizing DEI into the business landscape.
