McCree Collegiate Professor of Law at the University of Michigan, and Norrinda Hayat, Associate Professor of Law and Director of the Civil Justice Clinic at Rutgers Law School. Cara Hendrickson, BPI Executive Director also participated as a panelist, and BPI Board Member Quinn Rallins served as moderator for this discussion about equity and justice in housing and the future of civil rights litigation as a mechanism for structural reform.
