CONFERENCES & LECTURES
In addition to our usual array of academic and experiential offerings, RWU Law offers students, alumni, and the wider community a steady flow of expert workshops, roundtables, and presentations by leaders in their fields. Examples from 2019 included Boston District Attorney Rachael Rollins and Congressman David Cicilline; in 2018, U.S Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg became the eighth U.S. Supreme Court justice to travel to Rhode Island and address RWU Law students.

In Spring 2021, the Second Annual RWU Law Women in Law Leadership Lecture featured Debra Katz, Esq. in a “fireside chat” with RWU Law Professor Emily J. Sack. Katz is a noted civil rights and employment lawyer in Washington, D.C. She made headlines representing Dr. Christine Blasey Ford at the Brett Kavanaugh Senate hearings in 2018. This event was sponsored by Cervenka Green & Ducharme LLC, and by First Women honoree Louise Durfee (1966).
