Leveraging Student Research for Social Justice

Friday, February 23rd

Join us to explore the benefits and mechanics of incorporating "real world" social justice-oriented legal research projects into the LRW classroom. Hear inspiring success stories from legal educators who have worked with outside partners in the local legal community to create objective memo assignments on legal issues where "real" research is actually needed, often on both the law and the facts. These assignments can expand student skills in not only research, writing, and analysis, but also fact development and professional identity formation.

(2) An offeree’s power of acceptance is terminated by his making a counter-off, unless the offeror has manifested a contrary intention or unless the counter-offer manifests a contrary intention of the offeree.

What is common law and is it written by the courts of law?

Common Law
The origin of the Anglo-American legal systems. English common law was largely customary law and unwritten, until discovered, applied, and reported by the courts of law. In a narrow sense, common law is the phrase still used to distinguish case law from statutory law.
