Texas Law professors will explore its origins, evolution in the courts, and the ongoing debate over its impact on accountability and civil rights. This event will provide critical perspectives on one of the most contested issues in public law today.

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!
