I'm a former attorney. I left the profession after 13 years of practice and became a software developer.

I spent most of my career doing things like criminal defense and representing people with disabilities. In those areas of practice, things like CRT are badly needed. There can be no realistic dispute that the heavy hand of the law comes down more heavily on criminal defendants of color than it does those who are white - examination of the roots and causes of institutional racism are the best ways to combat this issue, and perhaps some discussion of these topics even in law school is warranted.

That said, I agree that most legal education is more practical and traditional than what is depicted in this article.

There can be and there is significant realistic dispute: https://www.clarionledger.com/story/opinion/columnists/2016/...

There can be no realistic dispute that CRT has caused far more harm, division, and destruction for our society than it has benefited anyone. It is a cancerous ideology that needs to be excised.

No law experience, but this is what I had gathered as well. The examples in this article sound like cases of over-correction. Which isn’t great, but it’s probably better than the alternative of not recognizing the issues at all.
