Teaching Justice in the Context of Immigrants’ Rights Webinar
The Clinical Legal Education Association (CLEA) has announced a webinar in the “Teaching Justice Webinar Series,” with a focus on immigration law.
Registration is now open for the 75-minute webinar, “Teaching Justice in the Context of Immigrants’ Rights” on December 6th, 2018 at 3pm ET/2pm CT/ 1pm MT/12pm PT, presented by Annie Lai, Clinical Professor of Law and Co-Director of the Immigrant rights Clinic at UC-Irvine, along with Sameer Ashar, Vice Dean for Experiential Education and Professor of Law at UCLA.
Registration is limited, and you must sign up beforehand, using this link.
This series aims to highlight new experiential approaches to teaching justice in the classroom. Each session will draw on the wisdom of the current resistance movement and examine its intersections with criminal justice, immigration policy, racial justice, and economic justice, among other issues. This series will explore the theory behind experiential faculty’s decision-making processes during a politically fraught era, asking the question, “How do we show up as lawyers and teachers?” Presenters also hope to develop a shared vocabulary and a deeper understanding of what it means to be a lawyer, whether we consider ourselves movement lawyers, rebellious lawyers, or transformative lawyers.
