Description
The Equality and Justice Practice Clinic examines the meaning of equality, the ways the law promotes or limits equality, and whether the professional role of the lawyer enhances equality for the client and for society. The substantive areas of focus include civil rights, the fourteenth amendment, section 1983 actions, police brutality, and employment discrimination. Issues of race and sex are examined in depth, for example, racial and sexual harassment in the workplace. In addition, issues relating to sexual orientation and disability discrimination are explored. The course emphasizes procedural questions, such as exhaustion, standing, mootness, and abstention, and their tactical significance in state and federal litigation.
