LAW 291P - Federal Civil Rights Law & Civil Rights Lawyering Practicum.


This practicum course provides both an overview of federal civil rights law and an introduction to the fundamental elements of lawyering in the area of civil rights law. It combines a substantive seminar class with student “field work” in federal civil rights law and policy. The primary goals of this practicum are: (1) to provide a broad survey of what civil rights protections are currently available under federal law; and (2) how civil rights attorneys attempt to assert and apply the full protection of these laws on behalf of clients who claim they have suffered discrimination and who allege violations of federal civil rights law.  (Satisfies the actual practice experience requirement.) Five hours. Hu Not offered in 2015-2016.
