Latinos and the Law Conference

Latinos and the Law: Is Our Past Also Our Future? March 29-30, 2007, Indiana University School of Law, Bloomington, Indiana

The conference will address some of the most pressing challenges facing the Latino community. Some of these challenges are well- known and widely debated, such as questions over immigration, human rights, and civic participation. During this two day conference, an interdisciplinary group of prominent scholars and practitioners will discuss these and related issues central to the Latino experience. With this conference, we hope to look ahead and consider how the lessons of the past may inform future discourse, law and policy affecting Latinos. Four panel discussions will guide participants through the topics: Civic Participation: Voting, Education and Language Human Rights Puerto Rico Immigration Professor Luis Fuentes-Rohwer Organizer lfr@indiana.edu Professor Christiana Ochoa Organizer cochoa@indiana.edu
