Teaching First-Generation Law Students

Harvard Law School published this video item, entitled “Teaching First-Generation Law Students” – below is their description.

First-generation students face unique challenges. Anthony Abraham Jack’s The Privileged Poor recently highlighted many of the invisible-to-professors barriers such students, especially first-generation students of color, face in college. What about when those students go to law school? In this recording, three professors share invaluable insights and recommendations to make “the invisible curriculum” both explicit and navigable to all students.
