Many students come to law school because they care about justice. Yet, many first year students become dispirited, feeling that issues of public interest, social justice, and legal ethics get lost in a thicket of technical knowledge. Get re-inspired and remember why you came to law school by coming to “Social Justice Thursdays – Essential Issues!”
Short readings will be available on reserve in the library and available through faculty support outside Bergin 214. These readings are interesting, but you are welcomed to attend, even if you haven’t had time to read carefully. Discussions will be facilitated by Lynette Parker, supervising attorney of the Katharine & George Alexander Community Law Center. Lynnette teaches Advanced Immigration: Refugee and Asylum Law and other immigration courses.
A light lunch will be provided.
