Thrower Symposium to debate federalism
On Feb. 16, the 25th annual Thrower Symposium, titled “"Interactive
Federalism: Filling in the Gaps,” will be held from 8 a.m. to
4:45 p.m. in the School of Law's Tull Auditorium.
The speakers will explore federalism and its interaction
with substantive law in three main categories: the environment, education
and religious
faith. Kirsten
Engle from the University of Arizona will discuss “"Environmental
Federalism," specifically its impact on state and local efforts to address
global warming; Michael Heise from Cornell will lead the panel on "No
Child
Left Behind: Coercive Conditional Spending Threats"; and Ira "Chip"” Lugu
and Robert Tuttle, George Washington University, will head the panel on federalism
and faith.
The event is free and open to the public, and six CLE
credits can be earned for $30. For more information, call 404-727-1842.
