Course Description
The Innovation for Justice Program (i4J) exposes students to the justice gap, engages students in thinking critically about the power of technology and innovation to close that gap, and empowers students to be disruptive problem-solvers in the changing world of legal services. Students work across disciplines and with government, private and community partners, implementing design thinking and systems thinking to create new models of legal empowerment.
Students in this course will play a leadership role within the i4J Program in one of two ways: (1) active participation as a leader and mentor in an ongoing entry-level i4J course, mentoring students who are new to the i4J Program and assisting in facilitating of class activities and community engagement; or (2) active participation as a project leader for an ongoing i4J project, participating in i4J research and collaborating with the Program Director, peers and community stakeholders to advance the work of the i4J Program.
