\n\u201cWe created this lecture series to bring to campus highly esteemed legal figures of national or international prominence who have distinguished themselves in constitutional law or history,\u201d said Williams. \u201cWe are delighted to have William Wiecek and Akhil Amar as our first two speakers.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
