The 2025 Indiana Journal of Law and Social Equality symposium will explore transformative approaches to lawyering that diverge from traditional tactics emphasized during the civil rights era. Civil rights litigation traditionally focused on isolated lawsuits and top-down strategies. In contrast, the discussion will consider interconnected philosophies such as Rebellious Lawyering, Movement Lawyering, and Collective Liberation, which each seek to dismantle systemic injustices through collaborative, grassroots-driven efforts.
