The Second American Founding
Noon - 1 p.m. in the Moot Court Room
Ilan Wurman, associate professor at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University, argues not only that we should reclaim the original meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment, but that doing so would lead to many desirable and surprising results. Professor Wurman argues that the Privileges and Immunities Clause is not, like many originalists claim, a fundamental rights provision, but is instead an anti-discrimination provision. The implications for incorporation, economic liberty, school desegregation, and gay rights may surprise you.
This talk is based on Wurman’s new book, The Second Founding: An Introduction to the Fourteenth Amendment. A limited number of copies will be available for sale at the event. Professor Steve Sanders, an expert on questions arising out of the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantees of equal protection and due process, and whose special focus includes issues affecting LGBTQ persons and same-sex couples, will be the response speaker.
Sponsored by the Federalist Society.

Tuesday
Judges and Lawyers Assistance Program
10 a.m. - 3 p.m. in Baier Hall
JLAP will be in Baier Hall meeting with students. Please make an appointment in advance by calling 317-833-0370. Tell them you’re calling to set an appointment with a counselor at the Maurer School of Law. You will be provided a date, time, and room number.
Are you feeling stressed or overwhelmed? Caregiving or grieving? Maybe you are concerned for someone else. Don’t wait; help and support are available now. When lawyers don’t care for their mental well-being, we can’t do our best for our clients, and we can’t be the person we want to be for our community and family.
All contact with JLAP is confidential under Admission and Discipline Rule 31 §9 and Rules of Professional Conduct 8.3 (c).
