Reading group introduction

We are proud to have almost 70 students involved in our series:

Year Two of CoLR’s
Critical Approaches Progressive Reading Group

Welcome!! In conjunction with the reading packet, “Beyond the Box of the Legal Academy: Critical Approaches to Law School and the Law,” developed last year by members of CoLR and Radical Students of Color…

This reading group is for students who feel silenced in the classroom, particularly persons of color, women, and LGBT students. In the process of reading liberating texts and discussing our thoughts and feelings, we will equip ourselves with the tools necessary to bring neglected issues to the classroom.

While the group is no longer open to new members for this semester, we encourage all participants to spread the word about our efforts and the importance of adopting critical approaches to our legal studies. Please tell your friends, classmates and professors about both the reading group and reader.
