Sharing @GeorgetownLaw Prof @sherrileekeene’s article. Perfect timing as it provides a framework for effectively using Dissents to analyze + critique + challenge the attack on our rights & democracy by this Court. Well done! minnesotalawreview.org/artic…
The Project is definitely a team effort. It would not be possible without @uiclaw students, @UICLaw_WriteCtr staff, and colleagues from @UICCUPPA and @UIC_CollegeofEd. Huge shout out and thanks to @AccessLexInst, Joel Chanvisanuruk, and Jennifer A. Gundlach @Hofstra_Law
