Practicum on Racial Bias and Structural Inequality in the Law

What role does race and bias play in creating, maintaining, and magnifying inequalities in how the law is made, applied, and enforced? In this course, we will examine how racialized perceptions, experiences, and affordances can become entrenched in our customs and institutions in ways that perpetuate racial inequality. This course is offered as a practicum through the Stanford Center for Racial Justice. Over the course of the quarter, students will spend 10 hours in class (4 hours in week 1, 3 hours apiece in weeks 5 & 6). Each week, they will spend an additional 3-6 hours (according to the units selected) on research and/or Center initiatives pertaining to racial justice in law and policy.
