Michigan State University College of Law will host two lectures by Rabbi and Professor Samuel J. Levine, Director of the Jewish Law Institute at Touro College Jacob D.Fuchsberg Law Center. Levine will discuss “From Talmud to Constitution: The Comparative Evolution of Legal Systems.”
The first lecture is set 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. June 23, at the Jewish Community Center of Metropolitan Detroit, 6600 W. Maple Road, West Bloomfield Township, and will feature Michigan Supreme Court Justice Stephen Markman.
The second lecture is set 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. June 29 at MSU Law, 648 N. Shaw Lane, East Lansing.
Both are open to the public; reservations can be made online.
The lecture is sponsored by the Beznos Family in memory of Fay and Samuel Beznos.
“For the past six years, and continuing in the future, my vision for Touro’s Jewish Law Institute has been to explore ways the Jewish legal experience can shed light on American law, American legal practice, and American legal education,” Levine said.
Levine has assisted professors across the country in developing courses on the topic, and in the process, has formed friendships with members of the MSU Law faculty including Professors Brian Kalt and Frank Ravitch.
