CRSJ, in collaboration with the DEI Center and its entities, the Center for Public Interest Law and its entities, the Young Lawyers Division, and other Section Divisions and Forums, is launching a new rapid-response project that will provide videos, resources, and other information breaking down key legal developments by explaining specific actions the government is taking, the legality of these actions, its impact on civil rights and daily life, and steps attorneys and advocates can take to protect our communities.

The Rapid Response Project was initially established in 2017, during the first Trump Administration, in direct response to the Executive Orders and policies implemented during Donald Trump’s first presidency. CRSJ has restarted the initiative as a “direct response” to the reinstitution of the Trump Administration.
