This seminar is for all students enrolled in the Race & Law Clinic, and it focuses on the relationship between law and lawyering and organizing, movements, and social change related to civil rights. Students will consider how the law can be a useful tool for upending entrenched injustice and promoting civil rights and racial justice and how lawyers can share skills, knowledge, and resources with other stakeholders in order to advance collective civil rights and racial justice goals. The seminar will also help build litigation and advocacy skills through reading, discussions, guest speakers, and assignments and activities aimed at building a knowledge and skill base for successful legal and policy advocacy in the future. The seminar will culminate with students presenting a litigation or advocacy proposal to the class.
