Prof. Lucas Guttentag will also examine key legal battles and discuss forward-thinking solutions to navigate these complex challenges. Don’t miss this timely and thought-provoking conversation on one of the most pressing issues of our time!

A leading expert on immigration law, he founded the ACLU Immigrants’ Rights Project and has litigated complex class action and appellate cases at every level of the federal judiciary throughout the United States.
