As part of Albany Law School's Justice Robert H. Jackson Lecture Series, the Student Bar Association presented "Society, Security and Civil Rights: Examining Sanctioned Discrimination Across Three Generations" on Friday, April 4, from 2 p.m. - 7 p.m. in Room 200.

United States Supreme Court Justice Jackson's dissent in Korematsu v. United States, the case authorizing the detention of American citizens of Japanese descent, is the basis of this year's event. The event's three panels transitioned from the physical detention of American citizens of Japanese descent, to not only the physical but the construct of societal detention of African American citizens during the civil rights era, to the present day struggle of the Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, and Transgendered community.

Keynote Speaker: Retired New York Court of Appeals Associate Judge George Bundy Smith.
