This conversation will illuminate the intersection of law, democracy, and civic engagement:

How do the courts shape public policy?
How are they responding to the current administration?
What are the consequences to Education, Immigration and Civil Rights?

What can Judges do about ignored decisions?
What can we do?

Discussion and Q&A will follow.

Professor Tom Burke

Professor Burke’s research focuses on courts, rights, and litigation in politics, and how organizations respond when faced with legal and political demands to change their practices. He is the Alice Freeman Palmer Professor of Political Science.
