This 3-credit Winter term project-based ‘course’ provides students with the opportunity to work collaboratively with David Lepofsky, Visiting Professor of Legal Education and Disability Rights, to learn about social justice advocacy strategies and skills. This will be done in the context of disability rights issues, while building resources for a future experiential learning course on lawyers and social justice advocacy. Students may also have the opportunity to contribute to disability rights advocacy initiatives being undertaken by Prof. Lepofsky as the project is running. Registration in the course will be by-selection. Students may be able to participate on the basis of either a Directed Research Project or a Student-Proposed Internship.
