Reflections on 1L Orientation

Carlie Ware Horne, lecturer in law and supervising attorney in the SLS Criminal Defense Clinic, offers her thoughts on the 1L orientation—as inclusive, innovative, and empowering.

Although no longer a part of our constitutional discourse, natural rights were central to American rights jurisprudence for well over a century. Led by Professor Jud Campbell, this talk will explore how the Founders thought about natural rights–where natural rights came from, what role they played in the constitutional design, and who got to define and enforce them–and why understanding that history remains relevant today.

This event is being recorded and will be available on the Constitutional Law Center’s YouTube page a few days after the event.
