Rurality encompasses a wide variety of people, identities, legal needs and strengths but we don’t always talk about it that way. Join legal anthropologist Michele Statz, former Tribal Court Judge Jessica Ryan, and immigration lawyer Sara Karki for a
discussion about legal needs and legal services in rural Minnesota. Drawing on their experiences, they’ll talk about common misperceptions and provide insights about working in greater Minnesota. We’ll highlight the diversity found in rural Minnesota and discuss how to serve the community effectively.
