Michael is a highly respected law enforcement and police reform subject matter expert, and will be speaking on the report he and his Steptoe colleagues recently completed regarding a gun tracing scandal in the Baltimore Police Department. The Diversity Scholar Speaker Series brings together members of our law school community to discuss topics varying in subject that promote diversity, equity and inclusion. Students are encouraged to engage in dialogue with invited guests. This event is co-sponsored by the Criminal Law Society.   

Thank you to Mayer Brown LLP and Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP for their generous support of the Diversity Scholar Series as an Advocate Tier sponsor of the Chicago Law Partners Program.

This convening is open to all invitees who are compliant with UChicago vaccination requirements, and is a mask-optional. We strongly encourage unvaccinated individuals and those preferring masks to do so. Participants are expected to adopt the risk mitigation measures appropriate to their vaccination status as advised by public health officials or to their individual vulnerabilities as advised by a medical professional. Public convening may not be safe for all and carries a risk for contracting COVID-19, particularly for those unvaccinated. Participants will not know the vaccination status of others and should follow appropriate risk mitigation measures.

This is a mask-optional convening. We strongly encourage unvaccinated individuals and those preferring to wear masks to do so.
