March 23: Cleveland - Police Reform: Why Respect for Difference Matters

Videotaped images of individuals being killed or severely injured during interactions with police currently permeate our national media and discourse. While the images are new, the deaths of Americans – in particular members of marginalized communities – at the hands of police are not new. The shift to militarized policing from community-oriented policing plays a crucial role. Over the course of several decades, attempts have been made to institute police reforms to ensure that police departments do not engage in use of excessive force. When the individuals killed at the hands of law enforcement belong to a minority group due to their race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation and/or mental health status calls have been made for bias-free, culturally sensitive policing. This panel will engage civil and criminal defense lawyers, law enforcement officials, government attorneys, and the broader community in a discussion on how diversity plays a role in police reform efforts and provide suggestions for police reform.

April 4: Chicago - Does Chief Justice John Roberts' fidelity to the Supreme Court as an institution trump his fidelity to the Constitution itself?

Join

The John Marshall Law School Student Chapter of the American Constitution Society, the Chicago Lawyer Chapter of the American Constitution Society, and Fix the Court as we answer the burning question:
Does Chief Justice John Roberts’ fidelity to the Supreme Court as an institution trump his fidelity to the Constitution itself?
With the other two branches in constant chaos, has the fact that our nation’s most pressing issues are now being decided by the Supreme Court affected the jurisprudence of the Chief Umpire of the United States? If so, has Roberts ignored constitutional principles - or his own ideology - in the hopes of maintaining the court's legitimacy at a time of growing skepticism in government?

March 3: Cleveland + Webcast - Native American Tribes' & Nations' Rights to Their Intellectual Property #MCLE

Indigenous peoples and nations have a wealth of knowledge and resources related to their traditional ways of life. That is found in traditional knowledge, Folklore and in genetic resources which are extremely valuable to the communities and, with the advent of the knowledge economy, increasingly valuable to non-indigenous communities and corporations. However, this increased interest in traditional knowledge, traditional cultural expressions and genetic resources has increased the risk, the perception and the reality of the misappropriation of indigenous knowledge, ranging from biopiracy to cultural misappropriation, to denigration and misuse of indigenous cultural icons and sacred knowledge. In many case, misappropriation is enabled by the mainstream intellectual property system through patenting, or copyright or trademarks. In order to combat this, indigenous peoples and nations have sought to vindicate their rights both at the domestic level and in international bodies such as the World Intellectual Property Organisation. Native American groups have played an important role in these efforts and the lecture will discuss the nature of the domestic and international challenges that Native American tribes face in claiming rights to their intellectual property, including traditional knowledge, cultural expressions and genetic resources.
