The University of St. Thomas School of Law's American Constitution Society will be working with the UST Federalist Society to host Gender Justice's Legal Director Jess Braverman and Law Professor Tereasa Collett for a debate. The two questions that will be posed to the speakers are: 1) Are laws seeking to restrict the ability of women to cross state lines to secure abortion a violation of the right to interstate commerce? and 2) What would a compromise on abortion look like?
Students do not need to RSVP. But, any non-UST students or staff should email fara8947@stthomas.edu to ensure a spot is reserved and entry into the building is facilitated.

Let's talk about the law, the Constitution, how the justices interpret some of it and hear inside stories of their headline-making decisions. Please join us for a talk with David G. Savage, veteran reporter for the Los Angeles Times who's been covering legal battles that have raged in Washington and the Supreme Court since the days of Thurgood Marshall. He's been in the room with quiet players and big-name sources - with a seat as witness to history - in cases ranging from affirmative action and gay rights to privacy rights and social media. Share your questions and absorb insights to help shape your understanding of the world we live in.
