*The American Rule of Law Through the Lens of Black Liberation.*
Join Paul Gowder, Northwestern Pritzker School of Law's professor of constitutional law, critical race theory, torts, and related subjects for this Inaugural event for the new Rule of Law Institute (LROLI) - headquartered at Loyola Law .
The mission of the Loyola University Chicago Rule of Law Institute is to examine the most vexing rule of law, racial justice, and social justice issues and do deep-dives into them.
Professor Gowder will lead a lecture examining modern rule of law in America, specifically its roots in the Black protest movements. This 60 minute academic lecture will be followed by a moderated 30 minute Q&A.
Professor Paul Gowder's research focuses on the rule of law, political and legal theory, racial and social justice, and law and technology. His first book, The Rule of Law in the Real World, was published in 2016, and his second, The Rule of Law in the United States: An Unfinished Project of Black Liberation, will be published in December 2021.
This event has been approved for 1.5 hours of Illinois Professional Responsibility (Diversity & Inclusion) CLE credit.
