Sept 15/Cleveland OH - What Constitution Have I? Harriet Beecher Stowe and the Moral Imperative of Constitutionalism
In Uncle Tom's Cabin, Harriet Beecher Stowe had her character, George Harris,
inquire "What Country Have I?" But the effect of her influential novel was to
demonstrate that the real question is "What Constitution Have I?" and that the
moral imperative of constitutionalism prevails over national identity. Professor
W. B. Allen, a prolific scholar in the field of political philosophy, will
explore the implications of Stowe's teaching in our time.

Sept 13/ Cleveland OH - Comparing Constitutions
Using international and foreign legal sources in constitutional interpretation
is a controversial practice in the United States, even provoking Congressional
hearings and attempts to legislatively limit federal courts' ability to refer to
such materials. Yet in many other constitutional systems of the world the
practice is becoming increasingly commonplace. The post-apartheid South African
Constitution goes so far as to make reference to relevant international law
mandatory and to expressly permit reference to foreign law. Professor Ray, an
expert on comparative constitutional law, will examine the debate over the use
of foreign and international law in constitutional interpretation with a
particular focus on the South African experience.

https://pro.wsba.org/forms/cle/Z100910.asp Sep 9/Minneapolis MN - “What Are the Legal and Ethical Boundaries for Dealing with Immigration: Is the New Arizona Law an Appropriate Response?
St. Thomas' Holloran Center to host Sept. 9 forum on immigration and the new
Arizona law
http://www.stthomas.edu/bulletin/2010/08/30/st-thomas%E2%80%99-holloran-center-to-host-sept-9-forum-on-immigration-and-the-new-arizona-law/
In a preview of the debate ultimately destined for Congress and the U. S.
Supreme Court, the University of St. Thomas will host an upcoming forum on "What
Are the Legal and Ethical Boundaries for Dealing with Immigration: Is the New
Arizona Law an Appropriate Response?"
Hosted by the university's Law School and its Holloran Center for Ethical
Leadership in the Professions with the support of Medtronic Inc., the free
public forum will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 9, in the Schulze
Grand Atrium at the St. Thomas School of Law in downtown Minneapolis.
The event brings together scholars and nationally known advocates for and
against Arizona's new legislation to share their views on the Arizona law and
the issue of immigration in general.
Professor Gabriel "Jack" Chin from the University of Arizona Rogers College of
Law will open the program with insights into the Arizona case, some of which
recently have been featured in The New York Times, Washington Post and National
Public Radio.
Next, two key players in the development of and opposition to the Arizona law
will debate its merits:
* Michael Hethmon, general counsel for the Immigration Reform Law Institute,
helped draft the state's immigration statute (SB 1070) and filed a brief in the
Arizona litigation on behalf of 81 members of Congress in support of the law.
* Thomas Saenz, president and general counsel of the Mexican American Legal
Defense and Educational Fund, served as lead counsel for MALDEF's successful
challenges of California Proposition 187 and now is overseeing the
organization's challenge to Arizona's new immigration statute.
The debate will be followed by a panel discussion featuring Chin, Professor
Katherine Fennelly and Jessica Vaughan. Fennelly is affiliated with the
University of Minnesota's Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs and recently
completed a report on "The Economic Impact of Immigrants in Minnesota." Vaughan
is the director of policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies in
Washington, D.C., and has filed a declaration in support of SB 1070 in the
Arizona litigation.
The Most Rev. Harry Flynn, retired archbishop of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and
Minneapolis, will give closing remarks.
The program is one of an ongoing series of Medtronic Business and Law
Roundtables. Sponsors for the event are the University of St. Thomas and its
Holloran Center for Ethical Leadership in the Professions, Center for Ethical
Business Cultures, Opus College of Business and School of Law.
The forum is free and open to the public but reservations are requested. To
register for the event and for more information visit the Holloran Center's
