This six-week, online-only series in Spring 2024 will feature lectures on the United States Supreme Court's 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 terms and the important cases before the Court. Open to all, this program is designed for non-lawyers, is an excellent lifelong learning opportunity, and is a great chance to get a taste of what law school is like. Participants who view at least four of the six sessions receive a Mini Law School Certificate (no academic credit is received for participation). There are no required readings, tests, or homework assignments - just a great opportunity to learn about the law!
We anticipate that individuals will be able to participate in Mini Law School this spring in two ways: (1) livestreaming the lecture anywhere in the country, from approximately 6pm to 7:30pm MDT on the night of the lecture; or (2) on-demand at any time of your choosing, beginning approximately 2 days after the live lecture. All participants can watch any lectures they miss live by watching a recording at their convenience at a later date.
Cost:
General Public: $200
Mini Law School or CU System Alum: $100
