WIL 101-02 - Intro Topics Innovation and Leadership: Law and Social Change

1 credits (Spring)

Law and Social Change. Using the reproductive rights movement as a case study, this course will explore law and social change. Students will learn basic skills, such as how to read a Supreme Court decision, and consider ways that legal study prepares people to contribute to and lead movements for social change. Students will then apply what they have learned about successful (and unsuccessful!) lawyering and movement-building to a social justice issue of their choosing. Sponsored by the Wilson Center for Innovation and Leadership.

Prerequisite: None.
Note: Dates March 25 to April 10. Short course deadlines apply.
