28th Annual Attorney General Robert Abrams Public Service Lecture

Please join PILC for the Twenty-Eight Annual Attorney General Robert Abrams Public Service Lecture. Each year, a prominent public figure who has performed exemplary public service addresses the students, faculty, alumni, and friends of New York University School of Law. This year’s speaker is Connecticut’s Attorney General, William Tong.

Attorney General Tong is the 25th Attorney General to serve Connecticut since the office was established by the state constitution in 1897. He is the first Asian American elected to statewide office in Connecticut history, and the first Chinese American to be elected Attorney General nationwide. He is a national leader in many of the most consequential lawsuits and investigations in our country today, including bipartisan, multistate efforts to hold the addiction industry accountable for their role in the opioid crisis; to restore fair competition and prices in the generic drug industry; to hold social media giants accountable for the harms they may cause to kids and young people; to stop robocall scammers; and to ensure corporations safeguard our personal information from misuse and respect consumers’ rights regarding the collection and use of their information.
