He now works as a litigation partner at K&E in DC.

Immigration in the New Administration

We hope to have a panel on immigration in the new administration featuring (1) an attorney focused on ICE raids, due process, etc; (2) an immigration/asylum practitioner (3) an immigration scholar and (4) someone with lived experience. We are currently working on securing speakers and would love any and all help in that regard.

Film Screening of Lyrical

This is a planned film screening of Lyrical, a film about a law student who gets caught up in police violence, with Carter Stewart, former U.S. Attorney in Southern Ohio and husband of Michelle Alexander. We plan to watch the 18-minute short film and then have a 40-minute discussion with Carter giving him feedback. Prof. Barbara McQuade initiated this event and connected ACS with Carter.
