Barkow, Charles Seligson Professor of Law; Distinguished Scholar in Residence Preet Bharara; Ryan Goodman, Anne and Joel Ehrenkranz Professor of Law; and Melissa Murray, Frederick I. and Grace Stokes Professor of Law, assessed the impact of the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol.
Professor of Practice Bob Bauer; Samuel Issacharoff, Bonnie and Richard Reiss Professor of Constitutional Law; Richard Pildes, Sudler Family Professor of Constitutional Law; and Professor Franita Tolson of USC Gould School of Law discussed voting rights and election law, while Dean Troy McKenzie ’00, Cecelia Goetz Professor of Law, explored issues of free speech on college campuses with three of his predecessors: John Sexton, NYU president emeritus and Benjamin F.
