Panel Discussion / Speaker Series

11:45 a.m.-12:45 p.m. in the Eidman Courtroom and 12:45-1:45 p.m. in the Jury Room.

Civil rights attorney Michael Allen will speak from 11:45 a.m.-12:45 p.m. on "Dismantling Segregation: Increasing Opportunity Through Fair Housing," in the Eidman Courtroom. From 12:45-1:45 p.m., he’ll speak more informally with students in the Jury Room about his life in the law. Attend one or both sessions. Lunch served at 12:45.

Mr. Allen, a partner at Relman, Dane & Colfax, in Washington, D.C., represents individuals and organizations in cases and matters under the Fair Housing Act and related civil rights laws. A significant part of his practice is focused on the obligation to "affirmatively further fair housing," and he has brought successful cases under the False Claims Act and by way of administrative complaints to enforce that obligation. Prior to joining Relman, Dane & Colfax, Mr. Allen was Senior Staff Attorney at the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law. He previously was an attorney with Legal Services of Northern Virginia, with a focus on representing low-income clients in housing litigation and policy advocacy.
