Description:
RebLaw is the nation’s largest student-run public interest conference. Every year the conference brings together practitioners, law students, and community activists from around the country to discuss innovative, progressive approaches to the law and social change. The conference, grounded in the spirit of Gerald Lopez’s Rebellious Lawyering, seeks to build a community of law students, practitioners, and activists seeking to work in the service of social change movements and to challenge hierarchies of race, wealth, gender, and expertise within legal practice and education.
We are excited to announce that this year’s keynote speakers will be:
- Vincent Warren, the Executive Director of the Center for Constitutional Rights, and
- Sujatha Baliga, Director of the Restorative Justice Project at the National Council on Crime and Delinquency.
Panels and Workshop topics this year include: Using Law to Occupy Wall Street, The Fight against Mass Incarceration, Domestic Violence and Transnationality, Surveillance and the Criminal Justice System, Unaccompanied Minors and the Humanitarian Crisis at the Border, Wage Justice, and much much more. A current list of panels can be found here.
