The Rule of Law and the Role of Lawyers
In recent months, national conversations have intensified around the rule of law, what it means, and the role lawyers play in upholding it. A wave of executive orders issued since January have been criticized as challenging or even ignoring the rule of law—threatening universities, law schools, and the legal profession itself. Setting aside political differences, what we’re witnessing is historically unprecedented.
Join Haub Law professors for a teach-in on the rule of law and the role of lawyers aimed at helping students better understand what they are hearing and reading about in the news. A major focus will be on how recent developments impact the legal profession, law schools, and law students. The program will examine the meaning and history of the rule of law, explore constitutional and ethical issues, and look at how current developments may impact the profession, legal education and employment opportunities.
Registration Required. Lunch provided.
1 Diversity-based PD credit will be awarded to students who attend in person.
