Dred Scott conference

[Sanford Levinson]

Perhaps it is relevant to note that the UT Law School, together with the
Chicago-Kent Law School Law Review, is co-sponsoring a conference,
organized by Paul Finkelman, Jack Balkin, and myself, on Dred Scott, in
recognition of the upcoming 150th anniversary of that case.  It will
begin the evening of March 30 and continue through April 1.
