Lawless: The Miseducation of America’s Elites

In partnership with WashU Law Federalist Society, the Show-Me Institute is pleased to present Ilya Shapiro, Senior Fellow and Director of Constitutional Studies at the Manhattan Institute, for a discussion of his new book, Lawless: The Miseducation of America’s Elites.

Law schools used to teach students how to think critically, advance logical arguments, and respect oppo­nents. Now those students cannot tolerate disagreement and reject the validity of the law itself. Rioting Ivy Leaguers are the same people who will soon:

• Be America’s judges, DAs, and prosecutors
• File and fight constitutional lawsuits
• Advise Fortune 500 companies
• Hire other left-wing diversity candidates to staff law firms and government offices
• Run for higher office with an agenda of only enforcing laws that suit left-wing whims

Ilya Shapiro will discuss how we got here and what we can do about it. The problem is bigger than radical students and biased faculty—it’s institu­tional weakness.

Presented by the Show-Me Institute, WashULaw Federalist Society, Sinquefield Charitable Foundation, and Show-Me Opportunity.
