Join the Duke Law Democrats and the American Constitution Society (ACS) for a conversation with Justice Allison Riggs of the North Carolina Supreme Court. A former voting rights litigator, Justice Riggs successfully defended her seat in a hard-fought 2024 election that made national headlines over democracy and ballot access in North Carolina. She will discuss her journey from the courtroom to the bench, her landmark election battle, and the future of voting rights. For more information, please contact Virali Patel (virali.patel@duke.edu).

ACS will host Professor Meg Penrose, who will propose certain changes to how Supreme Court opinions are written in an attempt to re-legitimize the Court.
Hagan Scotten will speak in a moderated conversation about challenges to the rule of law and speak about his experience as an AUSA at the Southern District of New York.
Join ACS as UNTD COL professor Brian Owsley talks about the upcoming SCOTUS term.
