Minami Tamaki LLP Senior Counsel Dale Minami delivered the keynote on February 16, 2019, at the 18th annual conference of the University of Pennsylvania Law School’s Asian Pacific American Law Students Association (APALSA).

Dale talked about his career and how he developed a commitment to social justice. He shared how the legal team he helped lead overturned Fred Korematsu’s 40-year-old conviction for resisting the military orders which banished 120,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry from the West Coast without a trial, the right to attorneys, or the right to notice of any charge against them. Dale related the Asian American experience to the current administration’s hostility toward immigrants.
