An Inside Look at Recent SCOTUS Rulings
June 30, 2020, Episode
The U.S. Supreme Court recently delivered two decisions with indelible impact for LGBTQIA+ and undocumented individuals in the United States, and perhaps broader implications for our country and the rule of law.

On Tuesday, June 30, we hosted a live stream presentation by Dean Erwin Chemerinsky of the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law, about these two cases, what they mean, why they matter, and what might be coming next.
The AALS Law Deans Antiracist Clearinghouse Project
June 22, 2020, Episode

On Monday, June 22, we hosted a live stream discussion with a panel of law school deans who are working to create a space for our collective voices to engage their institutions in the fight for justice. The AALS Law Deans Antiracist Clearinghouse Project strives to focus teaching, scholarship, service, activism, programming, and initiatives on strategies to eradicate racism and the resulting racial subordination it has created.
