The Eighteenth Annual Liman Colloquium: Detention on a Global Scale

The Liman Program sponsors an annual Public Interest Law Colloquium, bringing together advocates, scholars, and students from across the country for two days of discussion. Colloquia have addressed many topics, including: the federal funding of legal services, encountering the criminal law, low-wage workers and workfare, the challenges of becoming and staying a public interest lawyer, the role of mass media in public interest advocacy, public interest lawyering, and public interest advocacy at the state and local level in an era of high anxiety.
