Virginia Law Review Online Symposium | Participatory Law Scholarship: A Seat at the (Legal) Table

Emerging from the Critical Race Studies and movement law traditions, Participatory Law Scholarship is a recent movement to produce legal scholarship in collaboration with authors who have no formal legal training but have gained expertise in the law through lived experiences. The symposium will bring together several participatory law scholars and authors to learn more about this movement’s role in developing the law, to examine current theories of knowledge production in legal academia, and to discuss important questions on the role of legal scholarship in shaping societal change.
