• Copyright Culture and Black Music: A Legacy of Unequal Protection, with Professor Kevin Greene

African American music artists have been routinely deprived of legal protection for their creative works under the copyright regime. For many years, this perspective has only been faintly hinted at in legal scholarship, leaving Black artists as the "invisible" men and women of copyright jurisprudence. The issue of copyright deprivation and Black artists is highly significant, given the enormous cultural contribution of Black music to American society, the importance of music to Black culture, and the tremendous economic benefits at stake. In this important discussion, Professor Greene will dissect the history of Black artists' unequal compensation for and recognition of their cultural contributions.

• A Call to Action: The True Definition of Student Leadership in Law School, with student organization and affinity group leaders, co-moderated by Dean Nydia Dueñez, '10, and Dean Robert Mena

"Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other." - These wise words from John F. Kennedy summarize the role our Student Bar Association and Student Organizations played in helping the Southwestern community heal during a difficult year fraught with social, racial, and political unrest. Come learn from our Student Bar Association and our Student Organizations the true meaning of student leadership. The SBA will discuss our Safe Space Series, which was created to provide Southwestern’s diverse student body a forum to freely address, question, and dissect issues of social justice. You will also have the opportunity to hear about Town Hall Meetings led by Southwestern's student affinity groups, which provided students from various identities the opportunity to be heard. This is your opportunity to hear from and about the real Southwestern Law School community! This panel will be co-moderated by Dean of Students and Diversity Affairs, Nydia Dueñez, '10, and Dean of Student Affairs, Robert Mena.

•  Why Law Students Matter, a panel discussion with change-making legal clinic students, moderated by Professor Beth Caldwell

Our students don’t wait to become lawyers before they start impacting their communities - they start while they're still in law school. Nowhere do you see this more than in our Southwestern Clinics. Clinical students have fought for the child who will no longer be expelled from school after countless hearings with their school district; the individual whose immigration status was changed to allow them to remain in this country; the youth offender who was granted parole after 25 years in prison; and the the college student getting their rental deposit back from an unscrupulous landlord. All of these cases - and hundreds more - remind us of one constant: a Southwestern Law student was their legal advocate. Come join this conversation to hear from our campus' true change-makers and envision yourself in their shoes soon, ensuring justice before the law. This panel will be moderated by Professor Beth Caldwell, best-selling author of Deported Americans: Life After Deportation to Mexico, immigrant community advocate, and juvenile justice expert.

Professor Carpenter will examine the practice of including juveniles on the public sex offense registry, sometimes for life, for sexual acts that they committed as kids. A nationally recognized scholar in sex crimes, whose publications have been cited widely by courts and attorneys, she is also a Southwestern student favorite, teaching Criminal Law and Co-Directing both our Moot Court Honors Program and the Part-time Evening Program.
