Washburn Law Journal

Join us this Thursday, March 23! Retired federal judge U.W. Clemon is presenting the 45th Foulston Siefkin Lecture at 12:30 p.m. CT in room 114. The lecture will also be broadcast via Zoom (registration required for Zoom to receive the link).

Judge Clemon will present on his experience desegregating schools. He will begin by talking about his experience with segregation in the 1940s, in his early career, and the struggle to keep schools desegregated today. One of his proposed solutions to permanently desegregate schools is to expand the United States Supreme Court. He believes that we cannot realize the goal of desegregation until we have a more representative judicial branch.
