Free Speech on Campus: The Tales of Two Students

Join us for a discussion of free speech, civility, and offensiveness.  What role should schools play in facilitating or discouraging controversial or offensive speech?  What is the current state of free thought on the campuses of American law schools?  We will explore these topics through a panel discussion featuring two students and one faculty member.
