LAW 710 - Dunn Civil Liberties Workshop


This workshop will provide law students an opportunity to hear from leading academics, practitioners, and government officials about civil liberties issues. There will be six sessions over the course of the semester, roughly one every other week. The focus of the 2011-12 academic year workshop will be law and religion. Students will need to attend all sessions and write 5 two to three page pass-fail memos about materials (sometimes draft articles, sometimes briefs, sometimes agency regulations and related commentary). Speakers for this workshop include academics Rick Garnett (Notre Dame Law) Steve Teles (Johns Hopkins), and Chip Lupu (George Washington Law); government officials Chai Feldblum (EEOC Commissioner, on leave from Georgetown Law); and academic practitioners Doug Laycock (UVA Law; Marci Hamilton, Cardozo Law–each of whom has argued before the U.S. Supreme Court). Workshop dates are January 19, January 26, February 2, February 16, March 1, March 22, April 19). Limited to 25 law students.
