DU Community Outreach: Student Leaders Develop Program to Connect Diverse High School Students to the Law

On April 20, 2013, the University of Denver Sturm College of Law will host forty-five high school students to participate in Spring Training for Youth and Legal Education (STYLE). STYLE was developed by student leaders of diversity programs at DU Law to connect high school students with the legal profession. The program targets high school students who would not normally have access to the legal community because of their socioeconomic background. The students were nominated by a teacher, counselor, or other community member based on level of motivation and promise. STYLE will introduce the nominated high school students to diverse legal professionals and law students. Students will engage in seminar discussions and participate in a mock trial. The DU Law Review will post select STYLE articles in April.

Forty Years Since Keyes v. School District No. 1: Equality of Educational Opportunity and the Legal Construction of Modern Metropolitan America

On January 31–February 2, 2013,  the Denver University Law Review presented its annual symposium: “Forty Years Since Keyes v. School District No. 1: Equality of Educational Opportunity and the Legal Construction of Modern Metropolitan America.” Emanating from Denver, Colorado, Keyes was the first school-desegregation case from “a major city outside of the South” to reach the United States Supreme Court. The symposium revisited Keyes with key participants from the case and from the court supervision of Denver’s desegregation plan. It looked back at how the city, the metropolitan area, and the state’s public school systems have evolved over the past forty years and considered the challenges they face today and in the future.
