Voter suppression can be used as a tactic to influence the results of an election by discouraging and preventing certain groups from voting. It has become an important issue of discussion after the 2020 Election. 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.

Founded in 2019, the Northwestern Undergraduate Law Journal has grown significantly to gain an impressive presence on Northwestern’s campus and a renowned voice within the pre-law community. This spring, we are excited to launch the inaugural issue of our NULJ 2020-2021 journal and have our authors and editors present on their work they have done in preparation for our publication. We are also excited to have invited high schoolers across the globe to analyze the historical and legal causes of voter suppression in America in our 2021 High School Essay Contest and have them present on their winning pieces. This presentation will allow you to hear more about our mission, and meet our members, executive board and more. Please also stay tuned for a fun, games trivia at the end of our session.
