Law School Hosts Meador Lectures

September 16, 2016

Renowned legal scholars visited the University of Alabama School of Law today for the Meador Lectures.
The 2016 lecture series focused on the topic of Identity and included lectures by Professors Richard Delgado, The University of Alabama School of Law; Janet Halley, Harvard Law School; Saul Levmore, The University of Chicago Law School; and Elyn Saks, USC Gould School of Law.
The Law School established the Meador Lectures in 1995 to honor graduate and former Dean, Daniel J. Meador, who delivered the inaugural lecture.
Since 2004-05, the lecture series has focused on a single interdisciplinary theme with a premier group of scholars discussing that theme from their distinct scholarly perspectives. Recent topics have included Equality, Morality, Rationality, Wealth, and Freedom. The Meador Lectures are sponsored by the law school’s Program on Cross-Disciplinary Legal Studies.
