Criminalizing Dissent

University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas

Join us as we collaborate with Texas Journal of Civil Liberties and Civil Rights, for a conference bringing together Legal scholars, practitioners, and community advocates from across the country for a discussion focused around “Criminalizing Dissent.” The programming highlights some of the most pressing issues affecting all of us, including:

Attacks on DEI in higher education

Crackdowns on campus protests (including the detention of Leqaa Kordia) 

ICE violence and weaponization of immigration law

Resistance and capitulation of Big Law firms 

Lawyers as the architects of political and social movements (movement lawyering) 

Government accountability (which includes a legal observer training!)
