Fair notice is often invoked as a justification for interpreting the law in ways that ensure people can understand and comply with legal requirements. But how much notice is enough, and who gets to decide? Alexander Zhang will be sharing insights on the history and politics of fair notice in statutory interpretation, revealing how legislative and societal choices have shaped its meaning and distribution over time. While some argue that judges should interpret statutes to maximize notice, others contend that perfect notice is impossible. Zhang moves beyond this stalemate by uncovering how legislatures have historically prioritized efficiency over neutrality in distributing notice and how laypeople once played a more active role in engaging with legal texts. By tracing these shifts, he explores whether and how judges should account for the structural inequalities embedded in notice. This discussion will provide a new lens for understanding fair notice and its implications for legal interpretation today. This event is sponsored by the Duke Law Journal. Lunch will be provided. Please contact Gabriela Nagle Alverio at gabriela.nagle@duke.edu for more information.

The Duke Law Center on Law, Race Policy (CLRP), in partnership with the Duke Law DEI Committee, will host Democracy and Rights. As background, discussions about the future of the U.S. experiment with democracy often center on threats to the franchise and to the freedom of expression. Yet, a heavy focus on one or two rights obscures the ways in which democracy is interwoven with, and often dependent upon, other rights and freedoms. Moreover, 2025 provides a particularly opportune moment for a Democracy and Rights conversation as the U.S. marks the anniversary of major civil rights milestones, including the 70th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education (1954 and 1955), the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Fair Housing Act of 1968, and the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade (1973). This event, therefore, will seek to explore the ways in which democracy intersects with, and is often reliant upon, myriad rights and freedoms. Sponsored by CLRP.
