The Joyce Hulse Manko Lectures in Government: Lawrence Lessig (New Event)

Lawrence Lessig, the Roy L. Furman Professor of Law and Leadership at Harvard Law School, is one of America's leading legal minds. A New York Times bestselling author, Lessig became known for developing the very foundations of internet law, allowing the sharing of copyrighted content.

He has since taken on the issues at the core of our system of government, particularly the impact of money on politics and the role of the US Electoral College. He is the author of ten books, including "They Don't Represent Us: And Here's How They Could — A Blueprint for Reclaiming Our Democracy".

Join Lessig as he reflects on the challenges of the US Electoral College, and how meaningful change is needed to restore the representative foundations of American democracy. This program is supported by the League of Women Voters. Q&A and book signing will follow the lecture.
