The 2009 “Firearms Law & The Second Amendment Symposium” will be held on Saturday, September 12, at Northwestern University Law School, in Chicago, Illinois. This event will be hosted by The NRA Foundation and the Northwestern University chapter of the Federalist Society.
Capitalizing on recent developments in our nation’s federal courts regarding the Second Amendment, panelists will discuss and debate current Second Amendment scholarship and related issues. Featured panelists at this year’s event will include scholars on the Second Amendment such as Professors Nelson Lund and Michael O’Shea, and other scholars including Clayton Cramer, David Kopel, and others.
This event promises to present a thought provoking discussion of one of the most relevant and important freedoms in the Bill of Rights. Each Symposium registrant will receive a packet containing the panelists’ written materials on the subject- an excellent source for future reference. For guests who are attorneys, this year’s event may once again meet state requirements for continuing legal education. The event, including all materials, food and beverages, is free.
