Law school to feature Levin Center director during online program

On Wednesday, June 17, from noon to 1 p.m., Wayne State University Law School will present its latest Legal Briefs program online featuring Jim Townsend, director of the Carl Levin Center for Oversight and Democracy at Wayne State University Law School.

During this program, Jim Townsend will introduce the Levin Center’s mission and work, including its engagement with Congress, state legislatures, secondary schools across Michigan, and the academic community. He will also discuss the Levin Center’s Congress 250 campaign, which marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and examines the enduring role of Congress as the promise of representation in American democracy.

Townsend will draw connections between Senator Carl Levin’s service in the U.S. Senate and the mission the Levin Center advances in honoring his legacy. He will also highlight ways Wayne Law alumni can support this work, particularly through opportunities that benefit and engage current law students. Following his remarks, Townsend will answer questions from attendees.

The Legal Briefs program highlights current legal and civic issues for alumni, students, and friends of Wayne Law. This virtual event is hosted and moderated by the law school’s development and alumni affairs team.
