    Rapoport Center: Valeria Gomez

    In the wake of the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, the United States possesses a fragmented patchwork of state laws imposing varying degrees of restrictions on and penalties for abortion. This talk will examine the profound implications of this arrangement for noncitizen women, whose rights and mobility are already constrained by federal immigration laws and policies. It will argue that the intersection of state-level abortion restrictions and federal immigration enforcement creates de facto internal borders, uniquely curtailing the reproductive freedoms of noncitizens.

    How Industrial Strength is Shaping US

    Join the Strauss Center for International Security and Law and the Clements Center for National Security as we host Caitlin Lee, Ph.D., the director of Acquisition Technology and Policy at RAND Corporation, as she gives a lecture on “The Central Role of the US Industrial Base in US National Security Decision Making.”

    Deterring the next great power conflict isn’t just about military might. It’s about who can build, mobilize, and sustain faster. As the rivalry between the United States and China intensifies, the US industrial base is emerging as a game-changing instrument of national power, fueling an intense industrial base mobilization contest between the two great powers. Lee, a leading expert in defense policy, will reveal how new technologies and shifting geopolitics are transforming the way America prepares for and deters global threats. Drawing on lessons from Ukraine and other recent conflicts, this talk will show why the ability to scale up production and innovation is now the ultimate US advantage. Join us for a discussion that will shed new light on how mobilization capacity is shaping US force design—and what it means for US deterrence and the ability to prevail in twenty-first century conflict. Whether you’re a student, a curious member of the public, or a defense industry insider, don’t miss this chance to rethink the foundations of American security.

    No registration required. Seating is first come, first served. Lunch will be served. For more information, reach out to Ali Prince at ali.prince@austin.utexas.edu

    Biography Caitlin Lee, Ph.D., is the director of Acquisition and Technology Policy in the National Security Research Division at RAND, where she oversees the RAND’s research for the Pentagon related to US-China competition, emerging technology, defense industrial base issues, and acquisition. In her research role as a senior political scientist, she is currently leading projects focused on US and Chinese defense mobilization trends and implications, and US efforts to build resilience in the industrial base to deter great power war. She has testified before the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, published on military innovation and drone warfare in the Journal of Strategic Studies, Air and Space Power Journal, and other academic and popular outlets, and has authored or co-authored RAND studies on a variety of aerospace, force design, and technology topics including RAND’s Thinking Through Protracted War with China. She previously founded the Mitchell Institute’s Center for UAV and Autonomy Studies and served as the senior aviation reporter for the America’s Bureau of Jane’s for over a decade. She teaches Planning US Military Forces at Georgetown University’s Security Studies Program and holds a Ph.D. in War Studies from King’s College London.

At the kick-off event, students will have the opportunity to hear from experts about lawyering in the federal government and DC, and meet mentors involved in the program.

    Molly Claflin is a DC-based attorney and Texas Law professor working at the intersection of law, crisis communications, and public policy. She brings experience managing high-stakes investigations for the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, and a major international law firm. She will share insights on practicing law in Washington, navigating careers across government and the private sector, and building a career in the nation’s capital.

    What happens legally when someone passes away? What happens when an adult can no longer make certain decisions independently? And where do probate and guardianship attorneys step in when these major life events occur?

    Join the Probate, Guardianship Law, Estates & Trusts Society (PGLETS) for lunch and conversation about "When Life Happens," an engaging and informative introduction to probate and guardianship law. Over lunch, students will hear from Texas Law alumni whose experiences provide distinct perspectives on these practice areas. Rather than beginning with the code, the conversation will begin with the real-life events that trigger probate and guardianship law and explore how attorneys and courts help individuals and families navigate what happens next.

    We are excited to welcome Emma Jane Hopper ’25, Associate Attorney with the fiduciary litigation team at Osborne, Helman, Scott, Knisely & Stanton, LLP. A graduate of the Texas Law, Emma focuses her practice on matters involving trusts, probate, guardianship, and fiduciary litigation. During her time at Texas Law, Emma founded PGLETS and developed several probate and guardianship related pro bono initiatives through the Mithoff Pro Bono Program, including wills clinics, alternatives-to-guardianship clinics, and a court visitor program in partnership with the Travis County Probate Courts. Her work earned her recognition as a National Jurist Law Student of the Year and the Texas Access to Justice Commission’s Law Student Pro Bono Award.

    Joining Emma will be Nolan Bedward ’22, an Associate Attorney at Savrick Schumann Johnson McGarr Kaminski & Shirley, LLP and graduate of the Texas Law. Nolan brings a unique perspective shaped by experience both inside the probate court system and in private practice. He previously served as a Law Clerk and Staff Attorney with the Travis County Probate Court, gaining firsthand experience with probate and guardianship matters and the procedures through which they move through the court. Nolan later practiced at Jackson Walker before joining Savrick Schumann, where he continues his practice as a litigation attorney. His experience across the court, Big Law, and private litigation practice provides students with insight into both the substantive work of probate and the different career paths through which attorneys can encounter these areas of law.

    Together, Emma and Nolan will introduce students to “When Life Happens," the moments of death, incapacity, family change, and conflict that can trigger probate or guardianship proceedings. Through a conversational but informative discussion, they will explore when these areas of law come into play, the types of matters probate and guardianship attorneys handle, how contested and uncontested proceedings may differ, and what practicing in these areas actually looks like.

    Whether you already have an interest in probate, guardianship, trusts and estates, or litigation, or have never encountered these practice areas before, When Life Happens is designed to provide an accessible, practical introduction to an area of law that touches individuals and families at some of life’s most significant transitions.
