Koh is the guy who was in charge of Obama’s Drone Campaign. So we will have to organize a protest demonstration when he shows up. Fab.

Dear Colleagues:

This e-mail comes in my capacity as the chair of the Lectures Committee.  We will soon be in the process of putting together the faculty workshops for the 2015-16 academic year. If you have any suggestions for speakers at our noon-time Thursday faculty workshop series, please pass them along by reply e-mail. It would be helpful to have a few sentences about the person and about why they might be a good person to invite (e.g., interesting current research project, working on topics or a field related to someone’s research here, a connection to Illinois, etc.).  Please keep in mind, like previous years, we may be only able to invite a handful of the persons who are suggested.

If you are organizing a speaker series yourself, please let me and Sally Cook know that so that we can keep track of and keep you all posted about the various series that are going on in the building.  Although arrangements for your series should be made through your faculty assistant, it would be helpful if you could have that assistant let Sally know who is coming, when, and for what series.

We will also be thinking about invitees for the endowed lectures for the 2016-17 academic year as well as moot court judges for the honorary moot court round that will take place in the spring of 2017. We welcome suggestions for these lectures and for moot court judges. To refresh everyone’s memory, the endowed lectures for which the committee finds speakers are:

·         David C. Baum Memorial Lecture on Civil Liberties and Civil Rights
·         Paul M. Van Arsdell, Jr., Memorial Lecture on Litigation and the Legal Profession.

Note, we have already locked in Harold Koh for the Vacketta-Piper lecture this coming year.  More information about these endowed lectures along with a list of past speakers is available on the law school web site here: http://www.law.illinois.edu/academics/endowed-lectures.

If you have ideas for either faculty workshop speakers, endowed lecturers, or moot court judges, please drop me an e-mail with your suggestions [mfwasser at illinois.edu<mailto:mfwasser at illinois.edu>] by next Wednesday, May 27.  I will pass these suggestions along to the rest of the Lectures Committee (Jason Mazzone and Jen Robbennolt).  You are welcome to copy them on your message.

Best,

Melissa
