LAW-842 : CD: Movement Law. Clin. II EXP

A continuation of LAW-841. This interactive workshop will introduce participants to the theory and practice of "movement lawyering," and is designed to assist lawyers and law students in becoming better equipped to participate within mass movements and support grassroots organizing. Topics to be covered include: what is movement lawyering and why is it necessary, working with grassroots organizers, lawyering for power-building, how lawyers often fail social movements, how legal strategies fit alongside other social change strategies, and the disconnect between conventional legal training and the skills needed to support social movements. Several of the most effective movement lawyers and grassroots organizers in the country will participate as guest speakers.
