September 16, 2010 • 12:15 PM • Law School 3041

Professor Kurt T. Lash of the University of Illinois College of Law will discuss the future of the Privileges or Immunities clause and how it might serve as a more coherent source for incorporation and unenumerated rights. Professor Lash's work was repeatedly cited by Justice Thomas in his concurrence in the landmark decision McDonald v. Chicago to demonstrate the original understanding of the Privileges or Immunities clause as a means for incorporating certain rights against the States.
