Workers' Rights Clinic (WRC) Seminar

This course is a co-requisite to the Workers’ Rights Clinic (WRC). It explores a range of substantive, doctrinal, policy-based, theoretical, and advocacy-related topics pertaining to the representational, community building and policy reform work of the WRC. The course includes units on professional role and responsibility in the context of representing vulnerable and oppressed individuals and communities; interviewing and counseling in this space; advocacy skills, including skills required to prepare and present a case at an adversarial evidentiary proceeding; substantive doctrinal classes in those areas of labor law most pertinent to the cases the WRC is handling; and classes that explore the broader social, political, racial justice and economic contexts of labor law and workers’ rights.
