Former Fellow Blake Strode (’15) received a Missouri Lawyers Weekly Diversity & Inclusion 2018 award for “significantly advancing diversity, inclusion and the dignity of all people” (“Blake Strode — Arch City Defenders,” Aug. 22). “We lawyers are responsible for this legal system and all of the many messes it has created,” Blake said. “And so every single person with a J.D. and bar number to my mind has a responsibility to be active on these issues.”
