GRITS is a student-run, public interest law conference that focuses on the difficulties and constraints inherent to social justice work in the South, and the unique strategies that legal practitioners and other public interest workers have developed to meet those needs. The conference emphasizes innovative, progressive, and even radical approaches to building community among students, practitioners, and community activists in the South to bring about social change. The conference is an opportunity for law students, lawyers, and activists to build coalitions, share strategies for progressive lawyering, and develop new approaches for the future. Please join us for a brainstorming and planning session! Come with ideas or just to hear others—all that's required is a desire to move the law forward in a progressive manner. This meeting will take place in TNH 3.126 from 11:50 to 12:50. Lunch will be provided.

Join us for a presentation by Dr. Elizabeth G. Kennedy, a leading scholar on migration and human rights in Central America and the U.S.–Mexico borderlands. Drawing on her extensive research, Dr. Kennedy will offer perspectives on current carceral policies, human rights, and the rule of law in El Salvador. Her talk, followed by a Q&A, will address drivers and outcomes of the country’s incredibly high incarceration rate, reports of torture and deprivation of food, water, and basic hygiene in prisons, and the suspension of basic due process guarantees. Dr. Kennedy will also highlight the role of social science research in assessing carceral policy within migration contexts and provide essential context to El Salvador’s highly publicized role in the U.S. immigration system.

This event is co-sponsored by the Immigration Clinic at the University of Texas School of Law, the William Wayne Justice Center for Public Interest Law, the Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies (LLILAS), and the Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice.

Take a break from your outlining and recharge with a casual lunch with the Justice Center! As part of the EmPOWERed for Public Interest (EPI), this come-and-go event is an opportunity for students to grab a quick bite, commiserate in the misery of studying for law school finals, and relax for a little. Whether you can stay for a few minutes or the whole time, we welcome you to drop in and enjoy some good food and great conversations. This event is part of the Justice Center initiative designed to support students whose lived experiences, or those of their loved ones, intersect with the legal systems they aspire to challenge in their careers. EPI gatherings seek to address the specific challenges and burnout that public interest law students may experience while advocating for vulnerable communities they personally identify with. We hope you will join us for this study break!
