The discussion, which is free and open to the public, will feature a diverse group of panelists discussing how President-Elect Donald Trump and his administration could affect key issues.

Students, faculty, and staff devote the day to study, reflection, and programs on the role of law and lawyers in protecting the right of everyone and assuring equal access to justice.
