The American Bar Association Legal Education Police Practices Consortium, in partnership with the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law, launched a course Wednesday based on Professor Rachel Harmon’s casebook “The Law of the Police.” Through the seven-module course, available through mid-December, lawyers and law students can explore laws police are asked to uphold, laws that hold police accountable, and laws that protect citizens and police during interactions, according to the ABA Journal.

The Law of the Police,” published in 2021, is the first casebook to survey laws governing police encounters. Harmon is the Harrison Robertson Professor of Law, F. Palmer Weber Research Professor of Civil Liberties and Human Rights, and director of the school’s Center for Criminal Justice.
