From Dean Dan - February 2, 2018

UNLV Law is committed to bringing distinguished and thought-provoking speakers to Nevada. During the next few weeks, I am pleased that we will welcome a fantastic lineup of speakers from a diverse array of scholarly and policy backgrounds.

Joseph M. Alioto will join us at noon on Feb. 6 to present "Antitrust: The Backbone of the Free Enterprise System." Mr. Alioto is one of the leading antitrust lawyers in the nation and has represented independent companies and corporations of all sizes, farmers, inventors, patent holders, manufacturers, suppliers, wholesalers, retailers, distributors, unions, consumers, and entrepreneurs against foreign as well as domestic corporations.

On Feb. 12, historian and Pulitzer-prize winning author Professor Eric Foner will present "The Second Founding: How the Civil War and Reconstruction Changed the Constitution" as part of the Philip Pro Lecture in Legal History. His lecture on the Civil War Amendments, based on his next book, will also expand upon his work in his award-winning book, Reconstruction: America’s Unfinished Revolution, and The Fiery Trial: Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery, for which he won the Pulitzer.

Former Deputy Chief of Staff to Senator Reid, Former General Counsel for the U.S. Senate Finance Committee, and Deputy Director for the White House National Economic Council, Bill Dauster, joins us at noon Feb. 28 for "The Senate in Transition or How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Nuclear Option."

Next, the Saltman Center presents the 2018 Chris Beecroft Jr. Lecture on Conflict Resolution on March 1 featuring Professor Andrea Schneider's "Gender and Negotiation: What About the Guys?" Read more about the Beecroft lecture series, as well as about the Saltman Center's two new faculty members and three new student fellows in the Winter|Spring 2018 edition of The Desert Talking Piece.

I sincerely hope you can join us for some, or all, of these upcoming events. 

Best,

Dan
