Miami Law is proud to announce the 2020-2021 Legal Theory Workshop Series’ line-up of distinguished legal scholars. The first workshop is scheduled for Wednesday, September 23rd with Professor Catherine Fisk of the University of California’s Berkeley Law, who will be discussing her work “Protection by Law, Repression by Law: Bringing Labor Back Into the Study of Law and Social Movement Studies.”
The series provides a laboratory for discussion of faculty works-in-progress and every year features a diverse range of distinguished scholars discussing their innovative legal scholarship over a range of important topics.
“We are thrilled that the Miami Law faculty will again be able to host 20 brilliant thinkers to share their work with us this year. Engagement with such a breadth of ideas is what makes intellectual life at Miami Law as exciting as it is,” said Professor Lili Levi, Vice Dean for Intellectual Life.
