Cultural competency is a skill the profession increasingly expects and rarely teaches. This workshop, part of our cultural competency series with a focus on the Chinese community, gives you a practical grounding in working with clients and colleagues across cultures. Hosted by Mingze Sun. Open to all ALSA members.
Legal work happens across cultures every day, in the client you are advising, the colleague you are working beside, and the community you are serving. Getting it right builds trust. Getting it wrong quietly costs you. This session gives you a practical grounding most students never receive, starting with the Chinese community and the contexts you are most likely to meet in practice.
Real situations and how to handle them well, not a lecture on definitions. You leave with things you can actually use.
Cultural competency shows up early. Knowing how to navigate it sets you apart before you have even graduated.
This one is for our members. If you have not joined yet, it only takes a minute, and you belong in the room.
