On Thursday, October 27, at 5:30 p.m. ,alumni and friends of Wayne Law can attend the Legal Briefs program featuring Justin Long, associate professor of law. Long’s presentation will focus on abortion-rights litigation in the Michigan supreme court and the role of state constitutionalism in protecting civil rights as the federal Supreme Court turns away from this historic role.

Long studies state constitutionalism, public education law, urban law, and federalism. He is the associate director for education law and policy of the Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights, and regularly works with civil rights activists in the community.
