COVID-19 and the Law | What Have We Learned? COVID-19, Law, and Lessons for the Future |

The session delved into discussion and thoughts on what policies or legal changes we have seen emerge in response to the pandemic that might actually present opportunities for the future. Like the fall 2020 series, this session has a particular focus on U.S. law and on the urgent needs of marginalized populations, low-income and unemployed Americans, and people of color.
