Art of Advocacy

NYU Law's Moot Court Board's flagship Art of Advocacy series examines advocacy through a personal lens, and aims to explore how legal practitioners, experts, and academics in the field have employed their personal strengths to become effective advocates. This installment features Stefen Short on civil rights advocacy. The session will be moderated and provide opportunity for Q&A.

Additionally, he serves as an Adjunct Professor with Pace University teaching courses such as Prisoners' Rights Law.

This event will focus on civil rights advocacy and movement lawyering, including the development of forms of advocacy through the pandemic.
