“This fall’s session will help participants understand the implications of the election on a wide variety of areas of law, from immigration and climate change to healthcare and reproductive rights,” said Matt Cushing, Director of Executive and Community Learning Programs. “Our faculty speakers will help participants anticipate where the law will develop after the election, and that in turn should help our participants make more informed decisions in the voting booth.” 

Participants can attend lectures in person in Boulder, Colorado, watch a livestream of the lectures on Wednesday nights, or watch a recording of the lecture on-demand.
