University of Georgia Law: Immigrants and the First Amendment: Defining the Borders of Noncitizen Free Speech and Free Exercise Claims

Immigrants and the First Amendment: Defining the Borders of Noncitizen Free Speech and Free Exercise Claims

Immigration law, as well as immigrant activism, are intersecting with the First Amendment in new and surprising ways. This year’s Georgia Law Review Symposium will bring together a diverse set of voices to discuss these exciting new crossovers, providing a forum to explore the nuances of the First Amendment’s scope as applied to immigrants, immigrant advocates, and potential immigrants outside of the country. This is an area of law that is becoming increasingly more topical, and many questions that arise from these areas remain unanswered or ambiguous.

Featured contributors include Alina Das, Michael Kagan, Jennifer Koh, Julia Kraut, Chuck Kuck, Chris Lund, Greg Magarian, Daniel Morales, Clare Norins, Zachary Price, and Shalina Barghava Ray. Immigrant rights activist Ravi Ragbir will deliver the keynote.

The event will be held in person in the Larry Walker Room on University of Georgia Law’s campus but can be attended virtually.  For program details and the registration link:
