Legal Alternative Winter Breaks (LAWBreaks) offers service-learning experiences for Michigan Law students during the traditional Winter Break of the academic calendar (usually beginning of March). The trips are designed to provide a brief immersion into the human side of a pressing legal or social justice issue. Students meet and work together with actors on many sides of the relevant issues, contribute to important social justice work, and have a chance to bond with fellow students outside of the law school.LAW Breaks began in 2011, when a small group of 1Ls decided to spend their spring breaks helping immigrants in Arizona. The following year, our organization returned to Arizona and added trips to New Orleans and South Dakota. Since that time, we have traveled to different sites in the US and around the world, and the program continues to grow!
