GRITS is a student-run, public interest law conference that focuses on the difficulties and constraints inherent to social justice work in the South, and the unique strategies that legal practitioners and other public interest workers have developed to meet those needs.

The conference emphasizes innovative, progressive, and even radical approaches to building community among students, practitioners, and community activists in the South to bring about social change.

The conference is an opportunity for law students, lawyers, and activists to build coalitions, share strategies for progressive lawyering, and develop new approaches for the future.

Please join us for our first brainstorming session of the year! We will be providing a general orientation on GRITS before discussing possible panel topics and keynote speakers. Come with ideas or just to hear others—all that's required is a desire to move the law forward in a progressive manner. This meeting will take place in TNH 3.126 from 11:50 to 12:50. Lunch will be provided.

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED. If in doubt, verify with the web-based events calendar.

Present-day jurisprudence primarily limits state power by recognizing rights. Whereas the federal government is considered one of limited, enumerated powers, state governments are understood to have a general and broad “police power,” and thus fewer internal limitations on what they can do. But as the Supreme Court’s recent jurisprudence on rights evolves, it’s worth rethinking not just how rights protect individuals, but how internal limits on arbitrary exercises of government power can protect them too.

Professor Christina Mulligan (Brooklyn Law) joins us to explore the nature, evolution, and internal limits of the state police power. Lunch will be served. Please RSVP at the link.

Jennifer Banda, Director of the Center for Women in Law, will host a conversation with Ambassador Carrin F. Patman, former ambassador to Iceland, respected litigator, public service leader and CWIL Founder.

For three decades, Ambassador Patman was a litigator at Bracewell, concentrating on high-stakes litigation, and served on the firm’s management committee. In 2022, President Biden nominated Patman to be the United States Ambassador to the Republic of Iceland, and she was confirmed the same year. Ambassador Patman graduated from Duke University and The University of Texas School of Law, where she was a member of the Texas Law Review.

During this one-hour conversation, she will discuss her 30-year litigation career and the criticality of strategic thinking, zealous client representation, ethical integrity, and negotiation and communication skills.

The conversation will also focus on her just completed ambassadorship, with a discussion about the diplomatic role of an ambassador, the path to public service, her specific work fostering the U.S. and Iceland partnership, engagement through NATO and advocacy for U.S. policies on a range of international issues.

Ambassador Patman will also discuss her commitment to public service and leadership and the importance of cultivating future leaders, including discussion of her own community service roles. She has been very active in her local community in Houston, chairing of the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County. At the University of Texas, she has served as president of the Law School Alumni Association, president of the Texas Law Review Association, Trustee and Senior Trustee of the Law School Foundation and founding board member of the Center for Women in Law. She and her husband founded The Patman Center for Civil and Political Engagement at the LBJ School.

About the Author:  

Jim Harrington grew up in Michigan and received his law degree in 1973 from the University of Detroit. Prior to that, he worked seven summers with migrants in southwest Michigan, most of whom traveled from the Rio Grande Valley in Texas.  

After law school, Jim served as Director of the South Texas Project for ten years in the Rio Grande Valley. His legal work, some of it class actions, included the rights of farm workers and poor people in Valley to organize, McAllen police brutality, grand jury discrimination in Hidalgo and Willacy Counties, ending the exclusion of farm laborers from the state’s worker compensation and unemployment compensation laws, abolishing the use of “el cortito,” requiring portable toilets and drinking water in the fields during harvest time, and including farm workers under “right-to-know pesticide regulations. He served as César Chávez’ Texas attorney for 18 years. 

In 1983, Jim became Legal Director of the Texas Civil Liberties Union in Austin. In 1990, Jim founded the Texas Civil Rights Project, a non-profit foundation that promotes social, racial, economic justice, and civil liberty for low income and poor persons. By the time he retired in March 2016, the Project had grown to a staff of 40 with offices in six Texas locations, including along the border in the Rio Grande Valley and El Paso, and established itself as a strong, community-based proponent of civil rights.  

Jim has handled a wide array of civil rights cases, some precedent-setting, involving voting, free speech and assembly, immigration, capital punishment, police misconduct, student rights, privacy, racial and ethnic discrimination, labor unions, and the rights of persons with disabilities. His suit against the Texas Supreme Court was instrumental in establishing state funding for legal aid programs.  

Jim was an adjunct professor at University of Texas Law School for 27 years and taught undergraduate civil liberties courses at UT. He has served on human rights delegations to Central and South America and Israel and Palestinian territories.

On Tuesday, October 21st, please join the University of Texas’s Strauss Center for International Security and Law, Clements Center for National Security, School of Civic Leadership, and Civitas Institute, in collaboration with the Claremont Institute, in hosting Christopher Caldwell, New York Times columnist and Senior Fellow at the Claremont Institute, as he discusses populism and censorship in Europe.

Across Europe, populist movements have gained widespread support, yet face growing restrictions on their political participation and exercise of speech. From the shores of Ireland to the gates of Moscow, debates over immigration, nationalism, and cultural identity have become flashpoints for decisions on who gets to speak in the public square—and who decides what counts as acceptable opinion. Mr. Caldwell will examine how European governments and institutions are responding to the success of populist movements in Europe and what these responses reveal about the state of democracy in the West.

The talk will be moderated by Strauss Center Director Adam Klein. Registration is required and does not guarantee you a seat.

Christopher Caldwell is a Senior Fellow at The Claremont Institute and one of America’s most incisive cultural and political commentators. A contributing editor at The Claremont Review of Books and a contributing Opinion writer for The New York Times, Caldwell is the author of Reflections on the Revolution in Europe: Immigration, Islam, and the West and the bestselling The Age of Entitlement: America Since the Sixties, both widely praised for their bold, clarifying insight into the social and constitutional upheavals of the modern West. He is the recipient of the 2025 Henry Salvatori Prize in the American Founding.

Please RSVP by noon on Monday, October 27.
