On April 19th, the Roundtable Speaker Event kicked off our Symposium Week. We were honored to invite three keynote speakers to join us in conversation to discuss the past and current mechanisms of voter suppression in the US. We welcomed Professor Michael Kang from Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, Professor Neil Makhija from the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, and Professor Kate Shaw from Cardozo School of Law to lead a fruitful discussion on these topics.
On April 24th, the End of the Year Celebration ended our Symposium Week. In this presentation, we were excited to hear from our 2021 High School Essay Contest Winners. They explained the work they did revolving around historical and legal causes of voter suppression in America. We then heard from our journal and forum staff, who explained their tremendous work over the past year. Finally, we launched the inaugural issue of our NULJ 2020-2021 Journal!
