This course covers the practice of public interest law, how the lawyer’s professional role differs in this type of law practice, and how the public interest lawyer can affect and influence public policy and justice in the courts, legislatures, and administrative agencies. Students participate in simulations which explore public interest law, speak with public interest lawyers and the public interest organizations that they represent, and write a paper that invites them to reflect on and expand the information and materials covered in the course.
* This course may be offered for 3 hours during some years.
