Presented by the Clerkship Committee and the Center for Career Development About the Program: Members of the UConn Law Clerkship Committee as well as recent alumni will speak and answer questions about judicial clerkships and the application process in an informal setting. There will be a focus on action steps for law students seeking positions in the fall of 2026 (predominantly 2L day and 3L evening division students), including planning for letters of recommendation and selecting and finalizing writing samples. Students interested in clerkships in 2025 (3LD/4LE) and 2026 (2LD/3LE) are encouraged to attend. *A note on the clerkship application timeline: while exact application deadlines vary, clerkship applications are generally due about one year in advance of the clerkship (late spring/early summer of 2LD/3LE year). However, there are additional clerkship opportunities with application deadlines in students' 3LD/4LE year.

Joseph Brown (UMass-Boston). Social movements mobilize to fight climate change, water pollution, and biodiversity loss with a variety of direct action tactics. What is the best way to understand these campaigns? This book argues that the "environmental" framework fails to capture the importance of race and Indigenous sovereignty in intersectional "environmental justice" movements. The importance of intersectionality emerges in months of participant observation fieldwork inside Atlanta's Stop Cop City movement and the Wet'suwet'en Nation's resistance to the Coastal GasLink pipeline. Dozens of interviews illuminate the political and social pathways to direct action, as well as the controversies that arise over strategy and tactics. Given its "insider" research approach, the book sheds light on the subjective experience of direct action, including the highs and lows, triumphs and traumas, hopes and fears of those engaged in frontline environmental justice struggle.
