On behalf of the faculty, staff and students at Penn State
Law in University Park, I am delighted to welcome you to the 13th Annual Lutie A. Lytle Black Women Law Faculty Workshop and Writing Retreat. Penn State Law is excited to host this important conference that provides opportunities for thorough review of scholarship, collegiality, and support for experienced, mid-level, junior, and aspiring black women law faculty. The Workshop is co-chaired this year by Penn State Law and School of International Affairs professor Eleanor Marie Brown and University of Idaho College of Law professor Shaakirrah R. Sanders.
The Lutie Lytle Conference was founded after a small number of black women faculty, organized by Professor Imani Perry, collaborated at the Chicago home of Professor Michele Goodwin. The first official conference was held at the University of Iowa College of Law and was organized by then Professor and now Dean Angela Onwauchi-Willig. The vision of the original collaboration and the first conference continue to guide and inspire as the conference has grown. Since the Workshop’s inception in 2007, participants have built an impressive scholarly record, producing over 652 articles, 74 book chapters, and 34 books.
The Lutie Lytle Conference offers opportunities for mentoring, career support and fellowship to black women law faculty at all stages of academia. There are more women and people of color in the legal academy than in the past. However, more can and must be done to ensure that those who enter remain and achieve success. Penn State Law shares in this vision and is deeply committed to access, opportunity and excellence for all people, including and especially those who are underrepresented in legal academia and the legal profession.
I am very thankful for the leadership of Eleanor Marie Brown and Shaakirrah R. Sanders. Over the years, both Professors Brown and Sanders have provided crucial
mentoring and support for scholarship, teaching, and service for Lutie participants. I am so grateful that Professor Brown is a part of the Penn State Law and School of International Affairs community. In addition to her many contributions to the two schools, the Rock Ethics Institute, and the broader Penn State community, she has done an outstanding job fundraising and organizing this event. I am tremendously appreciative that Shaakirrah R. Sanders agreed to chair the program committee during her visiting professorship at University Park this past spring. She has played a crucial organizational role in developing this year’s excellent program.
I also would like to thank the entire Penn State Law team for their dedication and hard work, with special recognition to Kim Breaux, Events Coordinator, Andrew Gabriel, Marketing Communications Specialist, and Randy Fulton, Business Services Director. Finally, I thank all the law school sponsors and all of the Lutie participants who gave their time and energy to ensure the success of this year’s Workshop.
We hope that you will enjoy the program and your time in University Park. Thank you so much for letting Penn State Law be part of your efforts to improve diversity and inclusion in the legal academy and profession.

On behalf of Penn State Law and Dean Hari Osofsky, we warmly welcome you all to the 13th Annual Lutie A. Lytle Black Women Law
Faculty Workshop and Writing Retreat. Founded around 13 years ago by a group of African American female law faculty, the Lutie A. Lytle Conference was named after the first African American woman to teach at a chartered law school. In its inaugural year, the conference hosted 25 people while the most recent conference hosted over 100 current and prospective black female faculty. The primary goal of the Lutie A. Lytle Conference is the mentorship of young, prospective black women law faculty. This year’s program emphasizes this goal by highlighting the role of this conference in building a pipeline of black women law professors. During this process, the program committee remained mindful of the challenges that have come with our organizational growth. We created a “New Lutie” Committee to help brainstorm the program needs of our new and aspiring academics. We also created space for those who have taken on new deanships and other sensitive leadership positions.
As with every year, this program retains the core elements of the Lutie conference: honest scholarly feedback in addition to genuine collegiality and support. It is our obligation to continue this tradition by mentoring the next generation and ensuring the inclusivity of these conferences. By any measure, the Lutie Conference has been phenomenally successful, and we hope that we as a community can carry on that success. We would like to extend our deepest thanks to Penn State Law for hosting such a remarkable group, as well as all members of the program committee for their assistance. We thank you all for coming.
With warm regards,Eleanor M. BrownShaakirrah R. Sanders
