Law students in this country are a disproportionately white, young and economically privileged group. And so we need to be very cautious about not trying to speak for communities we do not represent. We do have a role to play in the movement, but what that role is will depend on the situation. I often think of it in terms of a variation on the Spider-man theme: "with great privilege comes great responsibility."
