January 29, 2023

McGlinchey is pleased to promote the annual Dermot S. McGlinchey Lecture on Federal Litigation at Tulane Law School. Professor Justin Driver, the Robert R. Slaughter Professor of Law and Counselor to the Dean at Yale Law School, will deliver an address on “Schooling Free Speech” about freedom of expression in America’s schools.

This year’s lecture will take place at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 9 in John Giffen Weinmann Hall, Room 110, at Tulane Law School, located at 6329 Freret Street in New Orleans. The event is free of charge and open to the public, with a reception to follow.

Professor Driver teaches and writes in the area of constitutional law and is the author of The Schoolhouse Gate: Public Education, the Supreme Court, and the Battle for the American Mind. He is a certified teacher and Harvard Law graduate who clerked for then-Judge Merrick Garland and retired Justices Sandra Day O’Connor and Stephen Breyer.

Established in 1996, the Dermot S. McGlinchey Lecture on Federal Litigation is broadly dedicated to exploring federal court adjudication, constitutional law, and justice under law. It is permanently endowed and sponsored by McGlinchey Stafford in honor of the firm’s founder, the late Dermot S. McGlinchey, a distinguished Tulane Law School graduate (L ’57).
