CJLP Symposium to Look at Issues Faced by Crossover Youth
| |
LLS' Center for Juvenile Law and Policy launched its three-year Integrated Legal and Education Advocacy Project in 2017 to provide holistic juvenile justice, education and social work advocacy to L.A. “crossover children” – children involved in both the dependency and juvenile justice court systems who are especially vulnerable to the “school-to prison-pipeline.” "Holistic Advocacy: Working to End the School-to-Prison Pipeline" – to be held from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. on Thursday, March 11 and Friday, March 12 – will gather education, juvenile justice and dependency advocates to discuss lessons learned and obstacles still to be overcome in direct client service and policy advocacy. Given the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and its longterm impacts on system-involved youth, the symposium will focus on this unique historical moment and its opportunities for systemic change. The project was made possible with support of the Everychild Foundation. More>>

LLS Launches Anti-Racism Center
The new LLS Anti-Racism Center (LARC) draws upon the multiple lawyering strategies of the law school's diverse community members to challenge and transform legal regimes that reify structural racism and inequality. LARC connects legal scholarship and policy research, academic and policy forums, and on-the-ground clinical work to strengthen LLS’s real world impact. LARC engages LLS students as LARC Research Fellows to work with faculty on policy projects that seek to overcome white supremacy and actualize a true multi-racial democracy. LARC also hosts activist leaders of racial justice movements who educate, inform, and collaborate with faculty, staff and students, to develop community-led initiatives. Learn more>>
