The Constitution's Unfinished Business Join us as Lawrence M. Friedman, Associate Professor of Law at New England School of Law, moderates a discussion about how the nation continues to struggle with certain issues in Constitutional Law. Michael J. Klarman and Mark V. Tushent, two distinguished law professors, will discuss their areas of expertise, including racial inequality and the Second Amendment. This discussion should be a lively dialogue about the history of the constitution, the role of law in American life and solutions and resolutions to some of the Constitution's most vital areas of 'unfinished business.' Klarman is one of the nation’s leading authorities on race and constitutional history, and he is currently a James Monroe Distinguished Professor of Law and Professor of History at the University of Virginia. In Unfinished Business: Racial Equality in American History, Klarman illuminates the course of racial equality in America and reveals why the elimination of this inequality still remains “unfinished business” for America. Tushnet is a William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Law at Harvard Law School and is one of the nation’s leading legal scholars. In Out of Range: Why the Constitution Can’t End the Battle Over Guns, Tushnet reviews both sides of the argument surrounding the Second Amendment and points the way to solutions that could calm, if not settle, this undeniably hostile dispute that has divided our country.
