Community-Based Advocacy

This course will utilize the social doctrine of the Catholic Church as a starting point to address how structural change can empower an economically disadvantaged community. Students will learn the skills necessary to lead social change through "participatory innovation". Students can only enroll with the professor's permission. Those interested must meet with the professor and bring a one-page tentative proposal to discuss during the interview. This proposal should suggest a project that would improve a low-income community and that will be carried out in partnership with community leaders. The proposal should also articulate how this course will enhance the student's educational goals and the law school mission. This course will have a final paper.
