Announcing the launch of the new Voting Rights Institute website

Wednesday, March 23, 2016

The Voting Rights Institute has officially launched their new website, http://www.votingrightsinstitute.org.  The Voting Rights Institute is a joint project of Georgetown University Law Center, the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy, and the Campaign Legal Center.  VRI's website, which is built on the probono.net platform, will help strengthen the essential work of voting rights advocates and equip the public with information and tools to protect their right to vote.  

 

Launched in October 2015, the Voting Rights Institute is a joint project of Georgetown University Law Center, the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy and the Campaign Legal Center. Established in response to the Supreme Court's decision in Shelby County v. Holder, which nullified a key provision of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, the Institute offers opportunities for students, recent graduates and fellows to engage in litigation and policy work in the field of voting rights and to educate attorneys about the skills and best practices of voting rights advocates.
