Federal Courts and Progressive Ideals: A Historical Perspective

Historically, the federal courts have been an important safeguard of people's rights and were instrumental in enforcing and bolstering the ideals expressed in landmark legislation. Join the NYU ACS Student Chapter to discuss the valuable civil rights legacy of the federal courts, how it has slipped from that mission over the past few decades, and its current state. We will discuss as how federal courts can and should be engines of progress and what we can do to encourage this.
