Friday October 28 - Abe Scarr, Public Interest Research Group
*The Battle Over the Ballot: The National Fight Over Voting and Emerging
Bipartisan Solutions*

The right to vote is one of the most basic, and most contested, rights in
American democracy. In recent years, the fight has taken particularly
partisan overtones, as some states restrict while others expand access to
the ballot. Within this context, we will explore how Illinois is emerging
as a national leader in voter registration modernization, and doing so in a
bipartisan fashion.


Friday November 4 - Colleen Connell, Executive Director of ACLU Illinois
*Justice Scalia’s Death and What the 2016 Presidential Campaign Means for
the Supreme Court*

Colleen Connell will discuss the impact of an eight member court and how
the court was evenly divided on cases in the 2015-2016 term. Colleen will
also talk about SCOTUS (Supreme Court) decisions on a range of issues
including affirmative action, reproductive rights, rights of public
employee unions and voting rights.
