The Center for Civil Rights and Critical Justice works to achieve a legal system where both historical and present-day racism, oppression, and marginalization no longer control outcomes or otherwise contribute to inequality. The Center educates future lawyers to be agents for social change and racial equality in all areas of the law, advocates for advancement of the law to achieve equal justice, and produces research to drive effective reform by revealing systems of oppression and exclusion.
Seattle University School of Law’s Center for Civil Rights and Critical Justice will expand the school’s commitment to empowering faculty and students to deploy critical research, education, and advocacy to reveal and remove systems of racism, oppression, and exclusion within the law.
