Join Law Students for Life for a conversation with Dr. Joe Pojman, President of Texans for Life Coalition and one of the most influential advocates in the development of pro-life legislation in Texas.

Dr. Pojman has spent more than three decades working in public policy and advocacy to protect human life, helping craft many of the laws that shape Texas’s current pro-life legal framework. A former aerospace engineer who worked at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, he later earned a Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin before dedicating his career to the pro-life movement.

The discussion will examine the legal landscape following the passage of major Texas pro-life laws and ask a key question: are these policies achieving their intended goals? Dr. Pojman will share insights from his experience working at the Texas Capitol, helping draft legislation, and evaluating how the laws operate in practice.

Lunch will be provided.

On July 23, 2025, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued a unanimous landmark advisory opinion on the “Obligations of States in Respect of Climate Change”—an explicit elaboration of states’ responsibilities under international law to mitigate, adapt to, and repair the effects of the climate crisis.

In partnership with the School of Law, Civitas Institute, and Center for Law and Democracy, the next event in the School of Civic Leadership's "Disputed Question" series will put Wall Street Journal columnist William Galston in conversation with the eminent legal scholar John Yoo to examine a provocative constitutional issue: whether the modern American presidency is a form of constitutional dictatorship. Moderated by distinguished Texas Law Professor Sanford Levinson, the discussion will revisit long-standing debates about the scope of executive power in the United States. Drawing on the arguments of Clinton Rossiter’s classic 1948 study, Constitutional Dictatorship, the discussion will explore how war powers, foreign policy authority, and decades of expansive congressional delegation have shaped the modern presidency. Together, the speakers will assess whether describing the contemporary American president as a “constitutional dictator” is merely rhetorical—or a descriptively accurate account of an office that may have been designed, from the beginning, to wield extraordinary authority.

Please join the Texas Law Review for a presentation on the article "New Judicial Federalism and the Establishment Clause: Classroom Ten Commandments as a Case Study in State Constitutional Protection" by Professor Caroline Mala Corbin of the University of Miami School of Law. Lunch will be served!

An excerpt (citations omitted): "The race is on to reintroduce Christianity into public schools. A new Louisiana law mandates that the Ten Commandments be posted in every public grade school, high school, and college classroom. Oklahoma’s Superintendent of Public Schools decreed that all public schools must incorporate the Bible into social studies and English classes starting in fifth grade. Texas’s Board of Education approved Biblical materials in kindergarten through fifth-grade lessons. Meanwhile, in a sign of things to come, parallel Ten Commandment laws have recently been proposed in at least fifteen states, with Arkansas and Texas already succeeding."

Since the Supreme Court’s decision overruling Roe v. Wade in 2022, states have taken sharply different approaches to abortion. Some, like Texas, have criminalized or heavily restricted the practice, while others, like New York, have expanded access. These differences have significantly shaped availability and raised complex questions about enforcement across state lines.

The presentation will examine the effectiveness of state abortion laws and explore what these developments signal for the future of abortion law in the United States. Food will be provided.
