Social Justice
The value of service is a cornerstone of a Caruso Law education, drawing academics and students alike to join in remarkable efforts to lift up our communities and fight for fairness and equality. Our commitment to furthering social justice is evident in our curriculum, externships and clinics, faculty scholarship, and the outreach and events that shine a light on issues that affect those who are underrepresented or experience discrimination. We are called upon to prepare the lawyers and leaders of the future to advocate for and improve access to justice; the rule of law; racial, gender, and economic equity; social justice; community economic development; and improvement in the administration of law.
What is Social Justice at Caruso Law?
"What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?"
(Micah 6:8)
