In addition to creating the ADI, Dean Conway was instrumental in guiding Dickinson Law’s development of a civil rights, equal protection, and social justice certificate program; developing the required first-year course titled “Race and the Equal Protection of the Laws”; and establishing the Law Deans Antiracist Clearinghouse Project.
