01 Oct ATS Kiobel Post-Argument Discussion
I realize this should have gone to our announcements section, but it seems well worth flagging. As OJ readers are probably aware, the Kiobel case is being re-argued today in the Supreme Court. Tomorrow my law school, Washington College of Law, American University, in DC, is holding a post-argument discussion with some stellar folks – Paul Hoffman (lead counsel for plaintiffs), Katie Redford (Earthrights International), John Bellinger (former DOS Legal Adviser and Arnold & Porter partner), and Andrew Grossman (Heritage Foundation). WCL’s own Steve Vladeck will moderate. The event will also be live-streamed.
Tuesday, October 2, 12-1:20, lunch included, and CLE credit available. Registration required. The flyer with online registration information is below the fold.
