The American Bar Association (ABA) Legal Education Police Practices Consortium, in collaboration with the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law, will host The Law of the Police, a first-of-its-kind free online course for law students, police officers, attorneys and the public. The self-paced, seven-week course, which begins Oct. 16, is designed to help participants understand the laws that police are tasked with upholding, the case law that protects citizens and officers in their interactions and the laws that hold the profession of policing accountable. Each of the seven weeks will be led by a different legal subject matter expert who will examine the evolution and reality of policing as well as inspire learners to be part of an evidence-based approach to understanding safety and security that protects the rights and lives of all people. Get details and register
