When federal enforcement protections are eroded and executive power expands, what can lawyers do?

Join Chicago Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights’ Executive Director Venu Gupta for a virtual conversation with Professor Jody Freeman, the Archibald Cox Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. Professor Freeman is one of the nation's most cited scholars on administrative law and presidential power, and a former White House Counselor under President Barack Obama. Professor Freeman will discuss the current moment and the vital role lawyers play in holding power accountable.

This event is hosted by the Chicago Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights, the only Lawyers' Committee affiliate in the Midwest. For more than 57 years, we have mobilized the private bar and partnered with community-based organizations to protect civil rights and advance racial equity.
