Protests & Reform PROTESTS & REFORM: HOW LAWMAKERS AND THE LEGAL COMMUNITY ARE RESPONDING TO THE KILLING OF GEORGE FLOYD UNIVERSITY OF ST. THOMAS LAW JOURNAL ST. THOMAS RACIAL JUSTICE INITIATIVE MINNEAPOLIS NAACP FALL SYMPOSIUM | OCTOBER 23, 2020 PROTESTS & REFORM: HOW LAWMAKERS AND THE LEGAL COMMUNITY ARE RESPONDING TO THE KILLING OF GEORGE FLOYD OCTOBER 23, 2020 9 AM-4:30 PM WELCOME George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police on May 25, 2020, sparking global protests and civil unrest. In partnership with the University of St. Thomas Racial Justice Initiative and Minneapolis NAACP, the University of St. Thomas Law Journal will convene a symposium to examine how lawmakers and the legal profession have responded – and should respond – to demands for change in the wake of Mr. Floyd’s death. Through dialogue among legislators, academics, and legal practitioners, the symposium will facilitate discussion about systemic racism and our roles as advocates for equal justice, with forward-looking initiatives. UNIVERSITY OF ST. THOMAS LAW JOURNAL The University of St. Thomas Law Journal is the flagship law review of the University of St. Thomas School of Law. It seeks to embody the school’s unique mission by publishing high-quality legal scholarship that promotes ethical actions, the integration of faith and reason, and social justice. The Law Journal’s Latin subtitle, Fides et lustitia, which translates into “faith and justice,” is a core foundation of our symposia and the works we publish. Through exploration of current legal issues through symposia, it allows for substantial collaboration among the law review, our faculty, and outside contributors. These symposia also give our law school community a chance to reflect on issues closely connected with the school’s mission and vision.
