A pre-recorded streaming VIDEO replay from the October 2023 webcast seminar, The Civil Rights Law Institute.
The Virginia Law Foundation has partnered with The Virginia Bar Association, Old Dominion Bar Association, Thomas Jefferson’ Monticello, and founding members from the Virginia State Bar’s Diversity Conference to present The Civil Rights Law Institute 2023.
Voting is what makes democracy real. It is a fundamental part of American society, and voting and civil rights cannot be understated nor separated. In recent years, several states have introduced laws that have increased restrictions on voting rights. Voting by mail and voting before an election is more difficult than in recent years and the authenticity of votes has been called into question numerous times. The role of the state legislature and local elections is also a fiercely debated topic. With elections at every level playing a significant role in our political system, ensuring the accessibility, validity, and freedoms of civil rights is paramount.
With these ideas top of mind, the 2023 Civil Rights Law Institute centers around discussion of voting rights from historical and legal perspectives. Attendees will hear an historical overview of voting rights in the United States as well as panels discussing timely topics like independent state legislature theory, the Voting Rights Act, local administration, redistricting, and how voting rights and elections compare outside the United States.
