Law Student Field Projects in Community Law Permanent Collection

In this project a law student worked with the Tennessee Task Force Against Domestic Violence and other coalition members to press for an end to the spousal rape exclusion in Tennessee. She developed a letter and petition campaign, attended a citizen training workshop on grassroots lobbying, and visited state legislators at the capitol. She also worked with two other students to direct, edit and produce a videotape that presented the case to legislators and other opinion leaders about why rape of a spouse should be treated as seriously as rape of anyone else.
