WORK HISTORY
Adjunct Professor @Howard University School Of Law
This is my third year teaching \"Civil Rights Litigation\" to 2Ls and 3Ls at the storied school of social engineers, Howard University School of Law.This seminar provides an overview of contemporary civil rights issues and the strategies attorneys and other advocates use to address racially discriminatory systems, including lessons on movement lawyering. We focus on how the enforcement of civil rights associated with voting, employment, access to equal educational opportunity, fair housing, and criminal justice have evolved over time. In considering these issues, seminar members gain a deeper understanding of the various strategies employed to fight intentional, explicit race discrimination as well as discrimination resulting from systems having a disparate impact on minorities. Students learn about a range of strategies to enforce our civil rights including: impact litigation in state and federal courts, programmatic work, legislative advocacy, administrative fixes, public pressure, and use of both traditional and social media.
