Guns, Cities, and the Constitution: The History and Tradition of Firearm Localism

TNH 2.124 (Reaud Classroom)

When the Supreme Court decides a Second Amendment case, it looks to the nation’s “history and tradition.” But whose history? Much of the story of gun rights and regulation was written not in Congress or state capitols, but in city councils and town halls, and those records are scattered, incomplete, and easy to overlook.

Join us for lunch as Patrick J. Charles, Senior Historian for United States Special Operations Command, presents "The History and Tradition of Firearm Localism," co-authored with Professor Joseph Blocher and forthcoming in the Texas Law Review. Charles’s work has been cited by the Supreme Court of the United States and six federal circuits.

Hosted by the Texas Law Review.

Press Freedom and the Right to Reputation: Should Sullivan Stand?

TNH 2.137 (Gayle Classroom)

Join Texas FedSoc for a debate with Professor Carson Holloway on his new book, No Liberty to Libel: The Constitutional Case Against New York Times v. Sullivan. Holloway argues that the Supreme Court’s actual-malice standard lacks a sound basis in the original meaning of the First Amendment and the Anglo-American tradition of defamation law. The discussion will examine whether Sullivan’s protections for the press and public figures remain constitutionally justified and how the law should balance free speech against the right to protect one’s reputation. Chick-fil-A provided!

Body Doubling: Structured Study Space

TNH 2.139 (Wilson Classroom)

SAO is hosting structured “body doubling” time and space.  

Body doubling is a study technique where you work alongside someone to increase focus and help reduce procrastination. The presence of others can enhance cognitive performance and productivity, especially for those who struggle with attention and executive functioning. We provide structured time allotments for studying and wellness breaks (and food, of course).  

This is a great opportunity to set study goals, monitor your progress, and enjoy extra productive study time (and snacks).
