Prerequisite: None

Exam Type: No Exam

This course will provide an opportunity for students interested in access to civil justice and/or criminal justice administration at the trial court level to work on independent research projects in a collaborative, interactive setting. Students will select one or more topics of interest to explore during the semester; we will meet each week to discuss one another’s research, and to brainstorm new topics. In lieu of a long final paper or short weekly response papers, students will instead contribute three substantive posts to the Access to Justice Lab’s blog. Participants will also participate in online discussions and debates about other blog entries. Students interested in expanding their research into a full paper may do so for an appropriate number of additional independent writing credits.
