The Center on Race, Inequality, and the Law is a leader in addressing systemic inequalities through legal advocacy and research. They excel in producing cutting-edge scholarship and in advocating for policies that address racial disparities in various sectors, including law enforcement. However, one specific challenge they face is illustrating the racially disparate impact of existing policies.

This project offers students the opportunity to engage in meaningful policy analysis and advocacy work. They will develop critical skills in legislative analysis, policy evaluation, and research methods. The project will be divided into phases, including the review of existing laws, data analysis, and the development of policy recommendations. This structure allows students to systematically address the challenge while applying their interdisciplinary skills in a practical setting.

For students, this project is ideal as it bridges the gap between academic learning and real-world application. It provides hands-on experience in policy analysis and presentation. The project is not only academically enriching but also aligns with the students' career aspirations of tackling complex social challenges through evidence-based policymaking.
