Lorwin Lecture series

Lawyer Wendy Murphy, JD, delivers the 2014 Lorwin Lecture on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. This keynote lecture focuses on “civil rights violence” and the overt and covert subjugation of violence against women as something other than a civil rights harm. Wendy Murphy specializes in the representation of crime victims, women and children. Her book, And Justice For Some: An Exposé of the Lawyers and Judges Who Let Dangerous Criminals Go Free, was published in 2007.

Organized by the Center for the Study of Women in Society, the inaugural Lorwin Lectureship on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties explores the topic of “Women’s Rights in a Global World” through a yearlong series of lectures, symposia, workshops and related events featuring world-class activists, scholars, and writers.
