LAWS 3343 Advanced Civil Rights Class

The Advanced Civil Rights Class is a pop-up clinic that allows students who have completed the Civil Rights Clinic the opportunity, with permission of the Clinic Director, to stay engaged in one of the Clinic's long-term matters and experience new lawyering responsibilities. The representative matters include litigation and policy advocacy projects involving the civil rights of low-wage workers, immigrants, prisoners and communities of color in Massachusetts. Advanced Civil Rights students will work on a team alongside students in the Civil Rights Clinic and be supervised by the Clinic Director. This class does not count toward experiential credits.
