Whose Privileges? What Immunity? A Symposium for the Sesquicentennial of The Slaughterhouse Cases
This year marks the 150th anniversary of one of the most influential decisions ever handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court, in The Slaughter-House Cases. Slaughter-House has shaped federal-state jurisprudence for the last century-and-a-half. Join us for a half-day symposium to examine the influence and legacy of Slaughter-House and to work towards a better understanding of how these cases have swayed the application of the Reconstruction Amendments.
