In 2019, former CLRP director Guy-Uriel Charles and Professors Trina Jones and H. Timothy Lovelace developed a one-credit Race and the Law Speakers Series course, designed to place students in conversation with leading academics and policy makers. The series was tremendously successful, with over 160 students enrolling in the course. Click here for more information.
The Series resumed in the Spring of 2023, under the direction of Professor Jones.
