    Perspectives on the Second Founding

    The adoption of amendments to the Constitution after the Civil War is often referred to as the Second Founding.

What did newly freed enslaved persons think of these new First Amendment freedoms, and how should their narratives affect our modern interpretation of the text?

    Join Professors Ilan Wurman (Arizona State College of Law) and William M. Carter, Jr. (University of Pittsburgh School of Law) to hear their perspectives on the Second Founding. Moderated by Professor Steven Collis (Texas Law).

    We hope you join us!

    About Lee Gelernt:

    Gelernt has worked at the ACLU’s national office in New York since 1992 and has litigated civil rights cases in courts across the country and at every level, including the U.S. Supreme Court. As an example, Gelernt successfully argued a national class action challenge to the Trump Administration’s practice of separating immigrant families at the border. In 2018, a federal court issued an injunction in Ms. L. v. ICE holding the practice unconstitutional and requiring the Administration to reunite the thousands of separated families. Find his complete biography here.

    A Conversation with Nancy Hollander

    This event is co-sponsored by the Human Rights Law Society.

    Please join us for a Zoom discussion with human rights and criminal defense lawyer Nancy Hollander on Wednesday, February 23rd from 6:00 until 7:15 PM. Before the event, we encourage you to watch The Mauritanian, which depicts Hollander’s representation of Guantanamo detainee, Mohamedou Ould Slahi (Jodie Foster won a Golden Globe for her performance as Hollander.) The film will spark a discussion about the role of criminal defense lawyers in protecting human rights at Guantanamo Bay and beyond.

    Nancy Hollander is an internationally recognized criminal defense attorney, well-known for representation of individuals and organizations accused of crimes the government deems related to national security. In addition to Ould Slahi, whose release she secured after fourteen years of detention at Guantanamo Bay, Hollander’s clients include Chelsea Manning and Abd Rahim Al-Nashiri. Though she has successfully represented Al-Nashri twice before the European Court of Human Rights, he is currently detained in Guantanamo Bay where he faces the death penalty. Hollander is a partner at Freedman, Boyd, Hollander & Goldberg P.A in Albuquerque, NM, an associate tenant at London’s Doughty Street Chambers, and of counsel with Savolainen Avocats, a Geneva-based firm.

    The discussion will be moderated by Professors Karen Engle and Ranjana Natarajan. Professor Natarajan is the director of the Civil Rights Clinic at Texas Law and has been involved in representation of Guantanamo detainees and other post 9/11 national security litigation. Professor Engle is Minerva House Drysdale Regents Chair in Law and co-directs the Rapoport Center. She has written critically about the human rights movement’s reliance on criminal prosecution as its principal enforcement mechanism.

    We encourage you to register as soon as possible. UT students, staff, and faculty will be provided with a link to watch The Mauritanian for free. All others are welcome to join us for the event and can view the movie for a fee through streaming services, such as Hulu, Showtime, YouTube, Apple TV, and Amazon Prime.

    A Conversation with Juan Melendez

    Juan Melendez was exonerated in Florida in 2002 after serving 17 years on death row. Today, he's active in the innocence and death penalty abolition movements. Recently, he campaigned in support of a bill to end qualified immunity in his home state of New Mexico and spoke out in support of Julius Jones in Oklahoma. He was also featured in a March 2020 National Geographic article on death row exonerees.

    Juan will join us to speak with students about his experience as a death row exoneree.

    (Law) School of Rock

    Assault & Flattery is back live and in person with their 69th musical "(Law) School of Rock!"

    We join Dewey, a washed up Austin rocker who sleeps in the storage area of Crown & Anchor and can’t find anyone to join his band for ACL’s Battle of the Bands. After conning his way into teaching the “History of Rockin Law” short course at Texas Law, Dewey realizes that his winning ticket to ACL may just be among the gunners, Big Law bros, and public interest law students in his class. Can the law students loosen up and learn to stick it to the Man? Will Legendary Rock n’Roll Attorney Ned Schneebly reveal Dewey’s true identity? Is it possible to teach law school without a J.D.? What’s the real reason Dean Farnsworth is leaving? And why on earth does Led Zeppelin keep getting sued for copyright infringement? Come to the show for all the answers!

    Live music will be provided by our very own band §ex Parte and our acapella powerhouse Supreme Chorus will provide an intermission concert.

    The show will have 3 performances: - Thursday, March 3rd @ 7:30 pm - Friday, March 4th @ 7:30 pm - Saturday, March 5th @ 7:30 pm
