ACS is hosting Constitutional Law Professor Anne Joseph O'Connell for its first Beyond the Doctrine event of 2024! In this speaker series, professors provide insight into the broader social context surrounding the doctrinal rules we learn in the classroom and answer student questions. In this series, we provide space for students to ask new questions -- instead of "what is the holding in this case," think "why?"

This event will take place on January 16 from 1 to 2 PM. This is a unique opportunity to connect with a 1L doctrinal professor on the practical applications of the first-year curriculum. Lunch will be provided to those who RSVP by January 14th.
