Decriminalization & Harm Reduction Part 2: Advocacy in Law School

In part two of our series on Decriminalization & Harm Reduction, Patrick is joined by members of H.A.R.D. Law for a round table discussion on advocacy in law school. Building upon or previous episode regarding BC’s recent decriminalization of small possession, this episode delves deeper into the role of law students in advocating for these important issues. Our guests share their experiences with advocating for harm reduction and decriminalization in law school, including the formation of H.A.R.D. Law and research projects. Through their stories, we gain insight into the challenges and opportunities of advocacy work in law school, and the importance of using legal education to progressive social change.
