Antiracism and Community Lawyering Practicum

THIS CLASS IS RESTRICTED to students who have formally applied to and been accepted to the Practicum. The Antiracism and Community Lawyering practicum will be offered in collaboration with the Fred T. Korematsu Center for Law and Equality (¿Korematsu Center¿). The practicum will train students in the tradition of ¿rebellious lawyering,¿ and provide them with real-world opportunities to support racial justice projects in collaboration with community partners. Through the practicum, students will work closely with the Korematsu Center and community-based organizations on research, advocacy, and policy projects aimed at combatting subordination and advancing liberation for all. Projects may include amicus briefs, direct representation, white papers, policy reports, fact sheets, public education projects, legislative testimony, or research memos. In alignment with the traditions of community and movement lawyering, the practicum directors and students will work in partnership with people who are directly impacted by racism and oppression and who are organizing towards liberatory solutions.
