Rebellious Lawyering Conference

About RebLaw

Since 1994, the Rebellious Lawyering conference (“RebLaw”) has put Yale Law School on the map as a home for public interest law, movement lawyering, and grassroots political action. Each year RebLaw brings together practitioners, students, and activists from around the country to discuss innovative, progressive approaches to social justice. The conference, firmly rooted in the spirit of Gerald López’s Rebellious Lawyering, seeks to build a community dedicated to challenging the hierarchies of race, wealth, gender, and expertise within legal practice, organizing spaces, and academia. Historically the largest of its kind, this conference has influenced an entire generation of attorneys, civil rights leaders, social justice activists, and educators in service of liberation movements.

Yale Law School is wheelchair accessible. Please note any access needs or other accommodation requests when you register for the conference.
