Cancelling Justice? The Decline of Legal Education and Critical Reasoning

Please join the Puerto Rico Lawyers Chapter for a dinner reception with Ilya Shapiro who will bring us up to speed on the apparent crisis in higher education: the army of non-teaching educrats that either distracts from the educational mission by providing therapeutic coddling or actively prevents truth-seeking by enforcing an ideological orthodoxy. Channelling from his latest book, Lawless: The Miseducation of America's Elites, which reminds that schools' goal is teaching future lawyers to uphold the rule of law while mastering the art of critical reasoning, Ilya will reflect on why instilling a culture of academic freedom and of respect for opposing views are essential.

Featuring:

• Ilya Shapiro, Senior Fellow, Director of Constitutional Studies, Manhattan Institute
