The University of Colorado Law School's popular Mini Law School returns for its ninth season this fall with a brand-new curriculum that examines voting rights, election law, and the impacts of the 2020 election. Taught by Colorado Law faculty and open to all, this eight-week online series is an excellent lifelong learning opportunity and a chance to get a taste of what law school is like.
