This seven-week series in Spring 2023 will focus on cutting-edge legal issues in the news. 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 five of the seven 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 fall in three ways: (1) live at the University of Colorado Law School’s Wolf Law Building, from approximately 6pm to 7:30pm MDT on the night of the lecture; (2) livestreaming the lecture anywhere in the country; or (3) 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.
