THE SPONSORING INSTITUTION

University of Denver Sturm College of Law is a top 100 law school situated on a gorgeous 125 acre campus with the majestic Rockies as its backdrop.  Its curriculum is innovative and global in its perspective with nationally ranked programs in environmental and natural resources law, legal writing, clinical training, international law and tax law.  The Sturm College of Law faculty has a long history of commitment to public service, in practice and in its scholarship.  Denver boasts a strong contingent of LatCrit, CRT and Law and Society scholars.  We are excited to return to Colorado for LatCrit XV, ten years after the Denver College of Law hosted LatCrit V in Breckenridge, Colorado.

THE CONFERENCE SITE

As in past years, the conference site is designed to be accessible, comfortable, self-contained and affordable in order to promote both formal and informal interaction, and to foster a relaxed community ambiance even as we engage in our serious work.
