Virtual Panel Discussion:
From the Insurrection Act to Police Reform: Legal Issues in the Wake of George Floyd's Death
The death of George Floyd and the nation's reaction to it have raised a variety of interesting legal issues, including police reform, racial profiling, qualified immunity, censorship, criminal charges against policemen, and the scope of the president's power to use troops to quell civil unrest.
