About this Event

Please join Volume 64 of the University of Louisville Law Review as it hosts its annual symposium, Defense of Democratic Institutions, examining the legal structures that support and safeguard democratic governance. The symposium brings together scholars, practitioners, and public officials from across the country to explore topics such as civic participation, election integrity, and the separation of powers.

Through panel presentation and discussion, participants will engage with timely questions shaping democracy today and its future. A keynote conversation between Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams and Former Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson centers the day's programming.

The symposium will take place on Friday, February 27, 2026, at the University of Louisville Swain Student Activities Center. Tickets include admission, a light breakfast, lunch, and validated parking costs.
