Over the next year, the UNLV William S. Boyd School of Law will bring together lawmakers, law enforcement, judges, academics, students, and community members to discuss legal and legislative solutions for reducing gun violence. Our goal is to facilitate a thoughtful, balanced, and substantive discussion about gun policy. Please join us next week for the first in a series of discussions hosted by the law school and our partners.

Ann McGinley is co-director of the UNLV Workplace Law Program and a William S. Boyd Professor of Law. Her areas of expertise include Employment Law, Gender and Law, Masculinities Theory and Law, and Tort Law.
