Discrimination Law
From employment to consumer transactions, discrimination law touches every area of the law. At USF, you’ll build your practical and theoretical foundation for a career in discrimination law.
Our coursework is taught by leading scholars, and delves into topics like race, employment, immigration, poverty, and more.
In our Racial Justice Clinic law students work with seasoned felony and misdemeanor trial lawyers to track racial disparities in bail settings, write, draft and argue bail hearings in court and design and implement creative strategies to reduce disparate pretrial detention and confinement of prisoners.
