The AJRC has launched our inaugural curricular offering for the Fall 2024 semester, the Appalachian Justice Research Lab (AJRL)! We’re excited to share this with you and hope that you’ll pass along the information below to your students.

What is the AJRL? The AJRL is a transdisciplinary space for community justice research based upon an innovative merging of community collaborative research and a clinical legal model. Students from multiple disciplines will work under the supervision of faculty (including several of y'all!) and in collaboration with community partners to conduct research and produce work products that support the needs and policy priorities of marginalized communities in urban and rural Appalachia.

Undergraduate & graduate students in any discipline, including law students, can apply for the Fall 2024 AJRL by taking the following steps:

• Learn more about the AJRL here

• Attend an AJRL Info Session. (Faculty are also welcome to attend)

• For law students: Wednesday, March 27 from 12-1PM in COL Room 242 (or via Zoom; email [log in to unmask] for the link). Professor Bach will also host AJRL Office Hours today (3/21) and Tuesday, March 26 from 12-1PM in her office (364).
• For undergraduate & non-law graduate students: Wednesday, April 3 from 12:00-1:00PM on Zoom. Register for the info session here. 

• Submit an application here. Students must apply and be accepted prior to registering for the course.

• There are separate applications for law students and undergrad/non-law grad students, both listed at the above link.

• Contact the AJRC team at [log in to unmask] with questions.
