Rosen Constitutional Law Speaker Series Endowment was established in 2017 by Bernard Mindell, Wayne State University Law School class of 1964; Barry Waldman, Wayne Law class of 1969; and Bob Garvey, a trial attorney in St. Clair Shores, to commemorate their friend Paul A. Rosen’s passion for constitutional law.  The series exposes students, staff, and members of the greater university community to dynamic speakers who are experts in the field of constitutional law.

Law school presents lecture on U.S. and Venezuela


Wayne State University Law School will present the lecture “Is the United States Occupying Venezuela?” on Thursday, October 8, from 12:15 to 1:45 p.m. in DJK 2242 at the law school, 471 W. Palmer Ave. in Detroit. 

What does international law say about the relationship between the United States and Venezuela? Marco Rubio has been described as the “Viceroy” of the country, passing on almost every major policy decision. In addition, the U.S. has taken a portion of Venezuelan oil revenue, thus exerting control over its most vital natural resource. Does this make the U.S. an occupying power under international law, subject to many limitations, including perhaps on diverting oil revenue?

Lunch will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
