An old friend of mine, Jordan Lorence of Alliance Defending Freedom, will be speaking at the law school on “Of Weddings, Babies and the Freedom of Speech” next Wednesday, April 11 at noon in the Auditorium.
Jordan is one of the leading constitutional law litigators in the country and also an excellent speaker.
This event is sponsored by the Christian Legal Society at UNL.
This will be a fabulous opportunity to learn about con law from someone who does this work every day.
Here is some info on Jorden:
Jordan Lorence serves as senior counsel with Alliance Defending Freedom where he plays a key role with the Advocacy Research and Innovation Team. His work encompasses a broad range of litigation, with a primary focus on religious liberty, freedom of speech, student privacy, conscience rights of creative professionals, and the First Amendment freedoms of public university students and professors.
Lorence argued before the U.S. Supreme Court in the precedent-setting Southworth v. Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System case in 1999, challenging the university’s requirement that forced unwilling students to contribute to campus activist groups. He led the challenge to New York City’s ban on private worship services after hours in vacant public school buildings in the long-running Bronx Household of Faith v. Board of Education of the City of New York case.
