The New York University Review of Law and Social Change invites you to its Colloquium . Recent Supreme Court decisions, technological developments, and public outcry over aggressive policing tactics all highlight the need to critically re-examine current Fourth Amendment jurisprudence, and we hope to spark dialogue over these and other important issues. The Colloquium will include an afternoon Keynote Address by former New York City Mayor David Dinkins as well as a Roundtable Discussion about Racial Profiling. Attorneys can receive 5.5 CLE credits in the area of Professional Practice for attending the Colloquium.
Admission is free.
Topics of discussion will include DNA databanks and other technological developments, as well as searches in prisons and schools. Four student writers will present their written work on these topics, and Barry Steinhardt, Associate Director of the ACLU, David Harris of the University of Toledo College of Law, and Paul Shechtman, Adjunct Professor at Columbia University School of Law, will all respond and comment. Participants will include Andrew Celli of the New York State Attorney General's Office, David Harris, and Tracey Maclin of Boston University School of Law. The Panel will be moderated by Professor Anthony Thompson, of NYU's clinical law faculty, and the panelists will focus their discussion on both racial profiling and the impact of the Supreme Court decision in Illinois v. Wardlow. Tracey Maclin and A. Morgan Cloud of Emory University School of Law will join student participants.
