The Lawyers' Coalition for Racial and Social Justice is a committee comprised of members of MCBA, GRAWA (the Greater Rochester Association for Women Attorneys) and RBBA (the Rochester Black Bar Association). The goal of the committee is to promote racial and social justice among local legal professionals and the community as a whole . The committee meets once a month to discuss ways to forward its mission and to address current issues relating to racial and social justice, and regularly provides CLE's and free public programming to increase awareness of relevant topics relating to racial and social justice.
