BROOKLYN LAW NOTES
Spring 2018


Faculty authors and Dean Allard share their expertise with the public

At the annual Brooklyn Book Festival in September 2017, Dean Nick Allard moderated a panel discussion on legal and political issues related to the Trump administration and the Supreme Court. The panel, Culture, Politics, and the Supreme Court, which aired live on C-SPAN, included Sheryll Cashin, professor of law at Georgetown Law School and author of Loving: Interracial Intimacy in America and the Threat to White Supremacy (Beacon Press, 2017); and Norman Ornstein, resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, a contributing writer and editor for the Atlantic, and coauthor of One Nation After Trump: A Guide for the Perplexed, the Disillusioned, the Desperate, and the Not-Yet-Deported (St. Martin’s Press, 2017). 

Faculty authors sold their books and spoke with visitors at a booth in Columbus Park across from the Law School.
