The latest issue of preLaw Magazine gives Seattle University School of Law an A+ for racial justice education, ranking the law school fourth in the nation in this area of study.
This ranking comes as Seattle U Law has launched the Center for Civil Rights and Critical Justice, which works to reveal and remove systems of racism, oppression, and exclusion within the law.
The magazine notes that the commitment to racial justice "is evident throughout the school's curriculum and programs, where students are immersed in understanding how the law has perpetuated societal inequities and are trained to challenge injustice through real-world legal practice."
"Seattle U Law ensures students have meaningful opportunities to engage with real issues of racial justice impacting the community," said Professors and Center for Civil Rights and Critical Justice Directors Melissa Lee and Jessica Levin. "Through the Center for Civil Rights and Critical Justice, the Calhoun fellowship, the Center for Indian Law and Policy, as well as through other clinical, experiential, and doctrinal offerings, students are trained to combat racial injustice across substantive areas of law."
