Defying Legal Gravity's Youth Legal Empowerment Conference is the first event of its kind, bringing together youth leaders, legal advocates, and community stakeholders to explore practical strategies for community- built justice.

This one-day gathering will feature workshops led by DLG’s Legal Empowerment Fellows, discussions by graduates of the program, and a panel of experts dedicated to democratizing legal knowledge.

This is not a conference about access to legal services—it’s about taking legal power back.

DLG is proud to lead this movement. Join us in shaping a future where legal power belongs to the people.
