Fifth Annual Law, Politics, and the Media Lecture Series
February 08, 2012 – April 11, 2012
College of Law, Room 204
The American judicial system today operates in a complex environment of legal principle, political pressure, and media coverage.

Law faculty tend to focus on legal principle; political scientists examine the influence of politics; and scholars of public communication assess the media.
The goal of this lecture series is to engage in a dialogue about the court system and its environment as a single, integrated subject of study. The lectures complement the Law, Politics, and the Media course and involve sitting judges, practicing lawyers, and working journalists.
