MBLSA hosts Professor Mark D. Rosenbaum this afternoon as he reflects on his career and shares his wisdom with the next generation of lawyers.

Among his many accomplishments, Professor Rosenbaum argued before the United States Supreme Court for the respondents in Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action. The decision was announced this morning.

We look forward to an engaging conversation on this and other topics.

HH 250, 12:30pm-1pm.

Today oral arguments begin in front of the United States Supreme Court in Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action.

Stop by our table in Hutchins Hall, and tell us what diversity means to you! Sweets and treats will be available!
