Social Justice Week begins with a discussion about what is social justice.

This event is being offered as part of the Social Justice Mondays program, a weekly series that aims to create a forum to bring awareness and encourage discussion about the many issues that surround the idea of "social justice" in order to help strengthen the social justice community of students, faculty and staff at the law school.
Social Justice Mondays is brought to you by the Access to Justice Institute, the Social Justice Coalition, the Student Bar Association, and the Center for Global Justice.
