I’m in Cleveland, speaking at Case Western Reserve Law School’s conference on Lawfare on Friday and Saturday. The event is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday and 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, and is being held at the Law School. It can also be viewed by simulcast here. Further program information can be found here. I’ll be in the debate section at 10 a.m., in which Charlie Dunlap and Paul Williams argue for the lawfare concept, while Leila Sadat and I argue against, with Daniel Moultrop of WCPN (NPR in Cleveland) moderating.
