Social Movement and the Law Seminar
Professor Cook J.D. Seminar 787 | 3 credit hours This course examines social movements like the civil rights, women, labor, and various foreign movements against the backdrop of past and recent scholarship on the theory and strategy of social movements. The objective is to discern the common problems faced in organizing and sustaining social movements--the legal, political, economic and cultural barriers commonly encountered and the strategies successfully and unsuccessfully employed to deal with these common problems. The course will pay particular attention to the role played by lawyers in social movements and how the skill sets developed by lawyers can be effectively utilized in predicting and solving the common problems such movements confront.
