About this Workshop Series
This workshop is one of a series of events for a Discussion Group that has been meeting for more than two decades at various law schools. Known informally as a "Schmooze," the workshop provides an opportunity for an informal conversation among constitutional scholars on a topic that is interesting and provocative. Over the years, the workshop has been hosted by University of Wisconsin Law School's Professor Heinz Klug, Associate Professor Andrew Coan and Professor David S. Schwartz, as well as Professor Howard Schweber in UW's Political Science Department and Legal Studies Program.
