About this Workshop Series

This workshop, hosted over the years by Professor Heinz Klug, Associate Professor Andrew Coan, and Professor David S. Schwartz at the Law School and Professor Howard Schweber in the Political Science Department and Legal Studies Program, 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. This is the eleventh year that a meeting of the Discussion Group is being held at Wisconsin.
