Today, Parsons Behle & Latimer’s Attorneys of Color Affinity Group and DEI committee hosted Professor Amos Guiora and Anna Hall and Diana Pogosyan, two law students of the S.J. Quinney College of Law, University of Utah, for a presentation about the college’s Bystander Initiative.
For the past 10 years, Prof. Guiora has directed the multi-faceted initiative addressing the problems and injustices caused when individuals and institutions fail to take action to stop abuse and ultimately become enablers. His research has led to the following books: The Crime of Complicity: The Bystander in the Holocaust and Armies of Enablers: Survivor Stories of Complicity and Betrayal in Sexual Assaults. Professor Guiora’s most recent article, “Holding Enablers of Child Sexual Abuse Accountable: The Case of Jeremy Bell,” addresses the role of enablers in sexual assault of children.
Many thanks to Prof. Guiora and his students for their work in developing this important initiative and for sharing it with Parsons today.
