Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law’s Post

Pitt Law Review has just published a Festschrift issue (vol. 84, No. 2) in honor of Pitt Law Professor Emerita Rhonda Wasserman. Prof. Deborah Brake, a longtime colleague of Wasserman, writes, "This festschrift issue of the University of Pittsburgh Law Review is dedicated to the scholarship of Rhonda Wasserman. It is celebratory in tone, but also substantive and weighty in its contribution to legal scholarship. It is a testament to Rhonda Wasserman’s influence that this issue was able to attract such a distinguished group of legal scholars. The contributions connect to Professor Wasserman’s scholarship in varying ways; some focus primarily on Professor Wasserman’s published work, while others develop the authors’ own legal theories and arguments, with themes similar to and in dialogue with, Professor Wasserman’s work. Each is an important piece of scholarship in its own right." Find the full issue, vol. 84, No. 2 here: https://ow.ly/54b250PPQ8n

We are pleased to announce that the SMU Law Review’s Affirmative Action Symposium issue (77.1) is now live! You can view the issue at this link: https://lnkd.in/e6zArPsH This issue has been over a year in the making. Our former Editor in Chief (Elan Wilson) worked diligently with his faculty sponsors (Professors Dale Carpenter and Jeffrey Kahn) to assemble constitutional scholars from both sides of the aisle for this special issue. This issue is the "full package." It includes explorations of “post-racial deception,” Professor Derrick Bell’s Interest-Convergence Theory, the quandary of Grutter’s “death,” and the workability of racial categories (in both the definitional and social sense). The issue also features a unique piece that unpacks the procedural backdrop of the SFAA case and parses the oral arguments. We are incredibly fortunate to have several authors who have been spotlighted in Supreme Court amicus briefs: Cory L. (Butler Snow LLP), Professor Vinay Harpalani (University of New Mexico School of Law), and Professor David E. Bernstein (George Mason University Antonin Scalia School of Law). Justice Gorsuch actually cited Professor Bernstein’s work multiple times on pages 5-7 of his SFFA concurrence! We are doubly fortunate to present Professor Bloom’s last article with the SMU Law Review before his retirement. Professor Bloom will be formally honored in our next issue (77.2). Stay tuned! #fourteenthamendment #constitutionallaw #affirmativeaction #DEI #equalprotection #SFAA #Harvard #UNC

The third and final webinar in this year's Kent Law School free webinar series, Summer of Law, is this week on Thursday 4th July 2pm BST. The webinars are aimed at those interested in studying Law at University (either as an undergraduate or postgraduate student), but anyone is welcome to join. The webinars give you a taste of the topics you can study as part of legal studies at University of Kent. For more details and recordings of past webinars, see https://lnkd.in/eFQmFTFV. The topic this week is the legal legacies of slavery and empire. The UK's laws and constitution draws heavily on the past and tradition for its legitimacy and authority. Magna Carta, signed in 1215, is often cited as a justification for trial by jury. But as lawyers, we do better at remembering some events than others. Join Dr Shahd Hammouri and Dr Tom Frost as they explore the operation of colonial corporations, and how the UK's involvement in the slave trade has continued to shape the country's laws well into the 21st century.
