Other speakers included:
- Dennis W. Archer, Former Mayor of Detroit;
- Carl Bogus, Roger Williams Law School;
- Brannon Denning, Cumberland Law School;
- David Konig, Washington University in St. Louis;

The first day of this conference was outstanding. Scholars from across the nation and from a variety of disciplines discussed their studies and their conclusions from their unique pedagogical perspectives.
By contrast, rather than maintain this balance throughout the conference, the second day stood in sharp contrast to the first. The list of speakers for the second day included a former Board member from Handgun Inc. who cited anti-gun statistics, but no John Lott to discuss his studies to provide balance. This was followed by a panel of speakers from different sociological disciplines but who expressed the common viewpoint that gun policy needed to be focused on limiting access to guns, which translates into keeping guns out of the hands of the average law abiding citizen. Again, there was no one from, for example, the federal government’s Project Exile to discuss the lives that can be saved by strict enforcement and a zero tolerance policy toward criminals caught possessing a gun.
While the potential of this conference was great, it had a great line up of speakers, and the speeches by many of those scholars were spectacular, the failed to live up to its potential due to the failure to bring balance to the future policy portion of the conference on the second day.

I'm unable to access the Stanford Levinson podcast...please check the link? Right now the file it points to is "2ndAmCrawford.mp3", but that doesn't seem to be correct.
Thanks!

You are correct - the Crawford (Levinson) and Sobota(Archer) talks got switched - Thanks for pointing it out.
