2012 Rebellious Lawyering (RebLaw) Conference – Registration Open – Feb. 17-18, 2012
By: Steve Grumm
It feels awfully un-rebellious to include an explanatory parenthetical in the post title. But anyway, the conference is colloquially known as RebLaw. Registration is open. Sign up, spend the weekend in New Haven, meet public-interest-minded students, profs, and practitioners from around the country. Some background:
RebLaw is the nation’s largest student-run public interest conference. Every year the conference brings together practitioners, law students, and community activists from around the country to discuss innovative, progressive approaches to law and social change.
We hope that RebLaw 2012 will be full of conversations that challenge not only the state of the law but also ourselves and our own preconceptions. We will strive to create a safe and nourishing community for all rebels, providing a variety of outlets to channel the passion and outrage we bring to the conference. By encouraging all forms of expertise and experience, we will value and amplify the creativity and insights we all possess. Grounded in a sense of where all of our work fits into broader movements, we will work together to hone our tools for change. RebLaw 2012 will be a success to the extent that it inspires courageous thinking, supportive relationships, and radical action.
