February 17, 2017 • 8:30 AM • Law School 3041
Please join the Duke Journal of Constitutional Law & Public Policy for "Voting Rights in Polarized America," a community-grounded dialogue on the impact of voting reforms in North Carolina and the role of courts in election law disputes across the country. Panelists will include practitioners and scholars currently working on voting rights issues, including several attorneys who participated in NAACP v. McCrory, which invalidated the NC legislature's 2013 omnibus voter ID bill as racially discriminatory. The Honorable Henry E. Frye, a champion of voting rights and the first African American Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court, will give the keynote address. Breakfast and lunch will be provided. Sponsored by DJCLPP. For more information, please contact David Friedman at daf18@duke.edu.
