Modeled after the popular Mini Med School at the 欧美口爆视频 Anschutz Medical Campus, 欧美口爆视频 Law鈥檚 Mini Law School is designed to educate non-lawyers about the law and help people better understand some of today鈥檚 most critical legal issues.

Last year, more than 300 people participated in Mini Law School, with participants in nine states taking advantage of livestreaming and on-demand viewing.

鈥淚n a time where law and policy is changing quickly and almost guaranteed to be a topic of daily conversation on the news, it was enlightening to participate in a program where I had access to some of the best experts on these topics,鈥 said 2017 participant Lindsay Bourgoine.
