Educators from Elon University School of Law and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro are presenting a symposium on aspects of the rule of law Monday. The event will address recent legal issues both domestic and international.
David Levine is associate dean of faculty development and professor of law at Elon and one of the symposium’s moderators. He says among the topics likely to be discussed are the volume of executive orders coming from the White House and due process in the deportation case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
Levine says while current events will be addressed, the symposium is not about politics.
”The focus of this event is on, 'What does the law do? How does the law operate? Where does the law work? Where does the law not work?'" he says. "And how does the judiciary and the law deal with some fairly unique challenges that are currently being faced by the United States.”
Panelists include former state Supreme Court Chief Justice Cheri Beasley.
The event will be held at Elon’s law school in downtown Greensboro.
