Traditionally, GRITS has been a student-run public interest law conference held at the University of Texas School of Law that focuses on the difficulties and constraints inherent to social justice work in the South, and the unique strategies that legal practitioners and public interest workers have developed to meet those needs. This usually takes the form of a 2-day in-person conference.
For 2021, the conference has moved online! Taking Zoom fatigue into consideration, we have decided to spread our events across a whole week.
