A diverse assembly of judges, lawyers, and educators
In 2018, prominent local judges Judge Bernice Donald (U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals), U.S. District Judge Tommy Parker, Judge Gina Higgins, and Chancellor Joedae Jenkins, together with representatives from the Memphis Bar Association and the Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law, began looking at implicit bias in the Shelby County criminal justice system. Their initial work was so inspiring, they were compelled to spread awareness about equity, diversity, and inclusion to more members of their profession.
The CEDM’s scope has extended beyond training and enlightening legal professions. The CEDM develops training programs, workshops, and “best practices” protocols that enable private citizens, businesses, and decision-makers to recognize and mitigate their unconscious biases, allowing them to make more equitable decisions that impact our communities. The CEDM organizes educational webinars that raise awareness and promote solutions to current obstacles plaguing our communities. The CEDM also serves as a repository for current, groundbreaking research on issues involving diversity, equity, and inclusion.
