Event Description
Deadline to Register: December 12,
2017
There are more Somali immigrants in Minnesota than in any
other state. The number of Somali attorneys is growing, but is still very
small (for the time being). There is a burgeoning need for culturally
appropriate Elder Law and estate planning
services as
these newer Americans settle
their multi-generational communities in this state. Not to be underappreciated is
also the growing business law needs of the ambitious Somali
young men and women whose entrepreneurial spirit is just
starting to show itself in a significant way.
If you are interested in learning more
about where legal services are headed and exploring under-charted territory (ie.
a new potential client base), this CLE is for you!
Come
join us for lunch December 14, 11:30 AM-1 PM and
learn more about Islamic estate planning and the Somali culture.
Don't miss this Elimination of Bias CLE!
Presenters:
Imani Jaafar – An attorney with Islamic estate planning experience, Imani has
presented and written on the topic many times. Additionally, she now works for
the City of Minneapolis in their Civilian Oversight of Police Conduct
department, where she addresses issues using her cultural competency skill set
and legal education.
Abdi Ali – Abdi is a native Somali who works at the
Center for Multicultural Mediation in Edina. Abdi is committed to building
cultural bridges and helping his community integrate the old with the new in
respectful and harmonious ways. He has presented to the MSBA community before
and is happy to have been asked back!
