    In 1938, in his defense of labor organizers, Clarence Darrow, famed labor and criminal defense attorney argued that the case was a battle for human liberty, the rich and powerful against the weak, about the use of the law to bring righteous men to prison, and about child labor. Come learn what has and has not changed.

    Co-sponsored by the Rodin Center for Social Justice and the Civitas ChildLaw Center at Loyola Law School, and the Darrow Commemorative Committee, join us for a symposium exploring the 125th anniversary of Darrow¿s representation of union organizers in the Woodworkers¿ Conspiracy case, the labor movement then, and the movement today.

    Readings from Darrow¿s closing argument; speakers include Professor Juan Perea and Chicago Federation of Labor President Robert Reiter.
