ACS is hosting Criminal Law Professors Chacón and Sklansky for its second Beyond the Doctrine event of 2024! In this speaker series, professors provide insight into the broader social context surrounding the doctrinal rules we learn in the classroom and answer student questions. In this series, we provide space for students to ask new questions — instead of “what is the holding in this case,” think “why?”

This event will take place on January 26 from 1 to 2 PM. Professor Chacón will speak about the intersection between criminal law and immigration; Professor Sklansky will speak about about the abolition movement. This is a unique opportunity to connect with 1L doctrinal professors on the practical applications of the first-year curriculum.  Lunch will be provided to those who RSVP by January 24th.
