Virtual Event

Join the ACS University of Pittsburgh School of Law Student Chapter, the ACS Pittsburgh Lawyer Chapter, and the ACS Philadelphia Lawyer Chapter, along with the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, for a virtual panel discussion on the unprecedented election law issues created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Jessie Allen, Associate Professor of Law and ACS Faculty Advisor, University of Pittsburgh School of Law; Member, ACS Pittsburgh Lawyer Chapter Board of Advisors

Claudia De Palma, Staff Attorney, The Public Interest Law Center
