Ralph Regula Lecture Keynote Speaker:
The New Face of Women's Legal History Symposium brings together legal scholars and historians to focus on modern scholarship reviving and recreating the field of women's history. The broad theme reaches the diverse array of topics that form the base of recent work in gender and legal scholarship. The annual symposium is part of the tradition growing out of The University of Akron's Constitutional Law Center.
In 1986, in anticipation of the Bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution, the United States Congress established Constitutional Law Centers at four law schools. The University of Akron School of Law was proud to be selected as one of those centers designated to fund resource centers for constitutional law and public education. The primary purpose of the center is to promote scholarship concerning the U.S. Constitution, to commemorate the creation of that document and to help illuminate its application to modern times.
