Join us at Robert H. Jackson Center for an illuminating and timely discussion on "The U.S. Department of Justice, Then & Now."
The evening will feature two distinguished legal scholars: Barbara L. McQuade, University of Michigan Law School Professor and former United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan (2010-2017), will share her insights alongside John Q. Barrett, Benjamin N. Cardozo Professor of Law at St. John's University and Elizabeth S. Lenna Fellow at the Robert H. Jackson Center.
Professor McQuade brings her wealth of experience as an MSNBC columnist, NBC News and MSNBC legal analyst, and co-host of the popular #SistersInLaw podcast. She is also the author of Attack from Within: How Disinformation Is Sabotaging America.
This thought-provoking conversation begins at 6 p.m. and will be followed by a reception and book-signing, offering attendees an opportunity to meet these remarkable legal scholars in person.
Join us for what promises to be an engaging and insightful examination of the Justice Department's evolution and its role in American democracy.
