This seminar is for all students enrolled in the Voting Rights Litigation and Advocacy Clinic. Participants will build on their knowledge from the Election Law course by learning how to apply it in the litigation and advocacy contexts. The seminar will use examples from the voter suppression and redistricting areas to teach students how to design and litigate impact cases (from investigating and filing a complaint, through lay and expert discovery, to presenting a case at trial and writing appellate briefs). The seminar will also teach students how to draft and advocate for and against voting rights legislation at the local, state, and national levels.

Please see the Voting Rights Litigation and Advocacy Clinic course description for additional information.
