Professor Bernard M. Levinson will present a lecture titled "Revisiting the ‘and’ in Law and Covenant in the Hebrew Bible" at the University of Michigan on October 7, 2016 at the Professor George E. Mendenhall Symposium—Law, Society, and Religion.

Professor Myron Orfield was extensively quoted in this Sunday's Christian Science Monitor cover story, "The Resegregation of America." “When you live in a society where there are really distinct communities on the basis of race, distrust grows and the potential for incidents like [the police killing of Philando Castile] are much higher,” says Prof. Orfield. “In places in the country that are less socially and racially segregated, I think these things are less likely to happen and less likely to have such an enormous outcry if they do.”

Professor Jill Hasday was quoted in a National Public Radio piece discussing the legal status and practical implications of common law marriage.

Professor Myron Orfield—director of the Institute on Metropolitan Opportunity—was quoted in The Boston Globe about segregation in the Boston metropolitan area and the role that low income housing developers play in it.
