Date:  Wednesday, February 11, 2026

Time: 10:00 AM-12:00 PM 

Location:  Zoom (Pre-Registration Required)

Course Title: LAW 705: Civil Rights Planning

Instructor: Professor Harold McDougall

Course Description: This course is an introduction to the practical, procedural, and substantive planning engaged in by lawyers helping to develop remedies for violations of the rights of minorities and women. These remedies include litigation, legislative and regulatory advocacy, demonstrations, and public information campaigns. We also look at citizen action and access to local government. Traditional "trouble spots" include racial profiling, hate crimes, discrimination against consumers, employment discrimination, voting rights, housing discrimination and discrimination in public education, and mental health law and policy.

During this class, UMBC students will have the opportunity to observe law student presentations and ask questions via chat.

Note: This is a live, virtual class and it will not be recorded.
