Description

In this episode of Legal AF, Ray Brescia talks to Danielle M. Conway, the dean and Donald J. Farage professor of law at Penn State Dickinson Law.  She is also the current President of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS), which represents over 200 law schools from across the United States. Dean Conway discusses the critical role that law schools and the legal profession must play in facing the present existential threats to the rule of law, democratic institutions, and the shared values of equality and justice for all. In this role, she has said that she believes that “every day is a good day to stand up for the rule of law and to lean into the work to sustain it for the benefit of current and future generations of people who deserve to inherent a more just society.” In this conversation, Brescia and Conway explore the ways that law schools, the legal profession, and every American can stand up for the critical values that this nation adopted in its Second Founding with the passage of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. https://dickinsonlaw.psu.edu/directory/danielle-m-conway https://www.aals.org/ We NEED your help!

Courts are all we have to restrain the monster until November's elections. It's been heartening to see judges rule against Trump and his flunkies in recent months.

I can't believe he's not in prison yet, for all the crimes, that the whole world has watched happen! WTF? 👁️❌

I am a California progressive, who has been living and teaching (university) in the Deep South, for the past two decades, in three cities / towns of Civil Rights infamy. To help. Gender and race constructs are included in my lifelong research, and in my teaching. Historical underpinnings, and how unjust laws and oppressive cultural practices remain. We MUST have these conversations. Thank you both.
