Social Justice in Action - 2234

This course is a continuation of the fall term course Social Education Justice Project.             The spring semester of the course (3 credits) will be primarily experiential in nature, both as a simulation course and a clinic course.  The simulation component will involve students as attorneys supervising junior attorneys in the preparation of an appellate brief and oral argument for a national moot court competition.  Students will be placed in a lawyer role representing a client and completing lawyering tasks.  I will supervise them directly and provide frequent feedback.  The students will participate in a classroom component throughout the semester.  The clinic component will place students in the role of facilitative lawyer, acting as a third party neutral and advising an individual or entity who is pursuing a social justice initiative or project in the community.  I will supervise the students’ work directly as they serve in the lawyer role and I will provide regular feedback.  The students will participate in a classroom component throughout the semester. The spring component of the course will allow students to receive 3 experiential credits.
